Question

How to save a bitmap or vector graphics image after creating a drawing with python's turtle module.

Answer 1

This worked for me:

from Tkinter import *
from turtle import *
import turtle

forward(100)
ts = turtle.getscreen()

ts.getcanvas().postscript(file="duck.eps")

Comments

where does that get saved(if it does)

It gets saved in encapsulated PostScript format inside your python project folder.

I tried your code, but I got :

from Tkinter import *

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'Tkinter'

But if I use

import tkinter      I don't get the same error.

Also, 

forward(100)
ts = turtle.getscreen()
ts.getcanvas().postscript(file="NiceHexSpiral.eps")

I get:
NameError: name 'forward' is not defined

Here is my code:

import tkinter
import turtle

t=turtle.Pen()
turtle.bgcolor('dimgrey')
sides = 4
colors=['lemon chiffon', 'purple', 'blue', 'salmon', 'green', 'red']
y = 350

for x in range(y):
     t.pencolor(colors[x%sides])
     t.width(x*sides/200)
     t.forward(x*3/sides +x)
     t.left(y/sides+1)

forward(100)
ts = turtle.getscreen()
ts.getcanvas().postscript(file="NiceHexSpiral.eps")

Hi@OceansBlue,

There is nothing called the Tkinter module. You need to use tkinter. In your second error, you have used one function named forward. But you didn't define the function. So create your function or remove the function name. Make these changes and if you get any error, then paste the error here.

Corrected to tkinter and code worked without the need to create the function forward.

as it seems it is part of the tkinter package.

However, the code got saved as eps file, but i don't find it useful, as there is no image displayed.

So what is a better solution?

Hi@OceanBlue,

It depends on the format. Try with different formats and see what happens.
