-Imagine a robotic turtle starting at (0, 0) in the x-y plane. Give it
-the command turtle.forward(15), and it moves (on-screen!) 15 pixels in
-the direction it is facing, drawing a line as it moves. Give it the
-command turtle.left(25), and it rotates in-place 25 degrees clockwise.

+The object-oriented interface uses essentially two+two classes:
 
-1. The TurtleScreen class defines graphics windows as a playground for the 
-   drawing turtles. It's constructor needs a Tk-Canvas or a ScrolledCanvas
-   as argument. It should be used when turtle.py is used as part of some 
-   application.
-   
-   Derived from TurtleScreen is the subclass Screen. Screen is implemented
-   as sort of singleton, so there can exist only one instance of Screen at a
-   time. It should be used when turtle.py is used as a standalone tool for 
-   doing graphics.
-   
-   All methods of TurtleScreen/Screen also exist as functions, i. e.
-   as part of the procedure-oriented interface. 
-   
-2. RawTurtle (alias: RawPen) defines Turtle-objects which draw on a 
-   TurtleScreen. It's constructor needs a Canvas/ScrolledCanvas/Turtlescreen
-   as argument, so the RawTurtle objects know where to draw.
-   
-   Derived from RawTurtle is the subclass Turtle (alias: Pen), which
-   draws on "the" Screen - instance which is automatically created,
-   if not already present. 
-   
-   All methods of RawTurtle/Turtle also exist as functions, i. e.
-   part of the procedure-oriented interface. 
+1. The :class:`TurtleScreen` class defines graphics windows as a playground for
+   the drawing turtles.  Its constructor needs a :class:`Tkinter.Canvas` or a
+   :class:`ScrolledCanvas` as argument.  It should be used when :mod:`turtle` is
+   used as part of some application.
 
-The procedural interface uses functions which are derived from the methods
-of the classes Screen and Turtle. They have the same names as the 
-corresponding methods. A screen-object is automativally created
-whenever a function derived form a Screen-method is called. An (unnamed)
-turtle object is automatically created whenever any of the functions 
-derived from a Turtle method is called.

-(I) TURTLE MOTION:        
-------------------
-
-(a) --- MOVE (AND DRAW)
-
-
-    .. method:: forward(distance)
-    .. method:: fd(distance)
-        distance -- a number (integer or float)
-
-        Move the turtle forward by the specified distance, in the direction
-        the turtle is headed.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (0.00, 0.00)
-          >>> turtle.forward(25)
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (25.00,0.00)
-          >>> turtle.forward(-75)
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (-50.00,0.00)    
-
-
-    .. method:: back(distance)
-    .. method:: bk(distance)
-    .. method:: backward(distance)
-        distance -- a number
-        
-        call: back(distance)
-        --or: bk(distance)
-        --or: backward(distance)
-
-        Move the turtle backward by distance ,opposite to the direction the
-        turtle is headed. Do not change the turtle's heading.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (0.00, 0.00)
-          >>> turtle.backward(30)
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (-30.00, 0.00)
-    
-
-    .. method:: right(angle)
-    .. method:: rt(angle)
-        angle -- a number (integer or float)
-
-        Turn turtle right by angle units. (Units are by default degrees,
-        but can be set via the degrees() and radians() functions.)
-        Angle orientation depends on mode. (See this.)
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.heading()
-          22.0
-          >>> turtle.right(45)
-          >>> turtle.heading()
-          337.0   
-
-
-    .. method:: left(angle)
-    .. method:: lt(angle)
-        angle -- a number (integer or float)
-
-        Turn turtle left by angle units. (Units are by default degrees,
-        but can be set via the degrees() and radians() functions.)
-        Angle orientation depends on mode. (See this.)
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.heading()
-          22.0
-          >>> turtle.left(45)
-          >>> turtle.heading()
-          67.0
-
-    .. method:: goto(x, y=None)
-    .. method:: setpos(x, y=None)
-    .. method:: setposition(x, y=None)
-        x -- a number      or     a pair/vector of numbers
-        y -- a number             None
-
-        call: goto(x, y)         # two coordinates
-        --or: goto((x, y))       # a pair (tuple) of coordinates
-        --or: goto(vec)          # e.g. as returned by pos()
-
-        Move turtle to an absolute position. If the pen is down,
-        draw line. Do not change the turtle's orientation.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> tp = turtle.pos()
-          >>> tp
-          (0.00, 0.00)
-          >>> turtle.setpos(60,30)
-          >>> turtle.pos()
-          (60.00,30.00)
-          >>> turtle.setpos((20,80))
-          >>> turtle.pos()
-          (20.00,80.00)
-          >>> turtle.setpos(tp)
-          >>> turtle.pos()
-          (0.00,0.00)
-
-
-    .. method:: setx(x)
-        x -- a number (integer or float)
-
-        Set the turtle's first coordinate to x, leave second coordinate
-        unchanged.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (0.00, 240.00)
-          >>> turtle.setx(10)
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (10.00, 240.00)
-    
-    
-    .. method:: sety(y)
-        y -- a number (integer or float)
-
-        Set the turtle's first coordinate to x, leave second coordinate
-        unchanged.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (0.00, 40.00)
-          >>> turtle.sety(-10)
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (0.00, -10.00)
-
-    
-    .. method:: setheading(to_angle)
-    .. method:: seth(to_angle)
-        to_angle -- a number (integer or float)
-        
-        Set the orientation of the turtle to to_angle.
-        Here are some common directions in degrees:
-        
-        =================== ====================
-         standard - mode           logo-mode
-        =================== ====================
-           0 - east                0 - north
-          90 - north              90 - east
-         180 - west              180 - south
-         270 - south             270 - west
-        =================== ====================
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.setheading(90)
-          >>> turtle.heading()
-          90
-    
-    
-    .. method:: home():
-        Move turtle to the origin - coordinates (0,0) and set it's
-        heading to it's start-orientation (which depends on mode).
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.home()
-
-    
-    .. method:: circle(radius, extent=None, steps=None)
-        radius -- a number
-        extent (optional) -- a number
-        steps (optional) -- an integer
-        
-        Draw a circle with given radius. The center is radius units left
-        of the turtle; extent - an angle - determines which part of the
-        circle is drawn. If extent is not given, draw the entire circle.
-        If extent is not a full circle, one endpoint of the arc is the
-        current pen position. Draw the arc in counterclockwise direction
-        if radius is positive, otherwise in clockwise direction. Finally
-        the direction of the turtle is changed by the amount of extent.
-        
-        As the circle is approximated by an inscribed regular polygon,
-        steps determines the number of steps to use. If not given,
-        it will be calculated automatically. Maybe used to draw regular
-        polygons.
-        
-        call: circle(radius)                  # full circle
-        --or: circle(radius, extent)          # arc
-        --or: circle(radius, extent, steps)
-        --or: circle(radius, steps=6)         # 6-sided polygon
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.circle(50)
-          >>> turtle.circle(120, 180)  # semicircle
-    
-
-    .. method:: dot(size=None, *color)
-        size -- an integer >= 1 (if given)
-        color -- a colorstring or a numeric color tuple
-
-        Draw a circular dot with diameter size, using color. If size
-        is not given, the maximum of pensize+4 and 2*pensize is used.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.dot()
-          >>> turtle.fd(50); turtle.dot(20, "blue"); turtle.fd(50)
-    
-    
-    .. method:: stamp():
-        Stamp a copy of the turtle shape onto the canvas at the current
-        turtle position. Return a stamp_id for that stamp, which can be 
-        used to delete it by calling clearstamp(stamp_id).
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.color("blue")
-          >>> turtle.stamp()
-          13
-          >>> turtle.fd(50)                
-
-    
-    .. method:: clearstamp(stampid):
-        stampid - an integer, must be return value of previous stamp() call.
-           
-        Delete stamp with given stampid
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.color("blue")
-          >>> astamp = turtle.stamp()
-          >>> turtle.fd(50)
-          >>> turtle.clearstamp(astamp)
-
-    
-    .. method:: clearstamps(n=None):
-        n -- an integer
-
-        Delete all or first/last n of turtle's stamps.
-        If n is None, delete all of pen's stamps,
-        else if n > 0 delete first n stamps
-        else if n < 0 delete last n stamps.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> for i in range(8):
-          ...     turtle.stamp(); turtle.fd(30)
-          >>> turtle.clearstamps(2)
-          >>> turtle.clearstamps(-2)
-          >>> turtle.clearstamps()
-
-    
-    .. method:: undo():
-        undo (repeatedly) the last turtle action(s). Number of available 
-        undo actions is determined by the size of the undobuffer.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> for i in range(4):
-                  turtle.fd(50); turtle.lt(80)
-                
-          >>> for i in range(8):
-                  turtle.undo()
-
-    
-    .. method:: speed(speed=None):
-        speed -- an integer in the range 0..10 or a speedstring (see below)
-        
-        Set the turtle's speed to an integer value in the range 0 .. 10.
-        If no argument is given: return current speed.
-
-        If input is a number greater than 10 or smaller than 0.5,
-        speed is set to 0.
-        Speedstrings are mapped to speedvalues as follows:
-
-           * 'fastest' :  0
-           * 'fast'    :  10
-           * 'normal'  :  6 
-           * 'slow'    :  3
-           * 'slowest' :  1
-
-        speeds from 1 to 10 enforce increasingly faster animation of
-        line drawing and turtle turning.
-
-        Attention:
-        speed = 0 : *no* animation takes place. forward/back makes turtle jump
-        and likewise left/right make the turtle turn instantly.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.speed(3)
-    
-    
-TELL TURTLE'S STATE
--------------------
-
-
-    .. method:: position()
-    .. method:: pos()
-        Return the turtle's current location (x,y) (as a Vec2D-vector)
-

-(II) PEN CONTROL:
------------------
-
-DRAWING STATE
-
-
-    .. method:: pendown()
-    .. method:: pd()
-    .. method:: down()
-        Pull the pen down -- drawing when moving.
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.pendown()
-
-
-    .. method:: penup()
-    .. method:: pu()
-    .. method:: up()
-        Pull the pen up -- no drawing when moving.
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.penup()
-
-
-    .. method:: pensize(width=None)
-    .. method:: width(width=None)
-        width -- positive number
-
-        Set the line thickness to width or return it. If resizemode is set
-        to "auto" and turtleshape is a polygon, that polygon is drawn with
-        the same line thickness. If no argument is given, the current pensize
-        is returned.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.pensize()
-          1
-          turtle.pensize(10)   # from here on lines of width 10 are drawn
-    
-    
-    .. method:: pen(pen=None, **pendict)
-            pen -- a dictionary with some or all of the below listed keys.
-            **pendict -- one or more keyword-arguments with the below
-                         listed keys as keywords.
-
-        Return or set the pen's attributes in a 'pen-dictionary'
-        with the following key/value pairs:
-
-          * "shown"      :   True/False
-          * "pendown"    :   True/False
-          * "pencolor"   :   color-string or color-tuple
-          * "fillcolor"  :   color-string or color-tuple
-          * "pensize"    :   positive number
-          * "speed"      :   number in range 0..10
-          * "resizemode" :   "auto" or "user" or "noresize"
-          * "stretchfactor": (positive number, positive number)
-          * "outline"    :   positive number
-          * "tilt"       :   number
-
-        This dicionary can be used as argument for a subsequent
-        pen()-call to restore the former pen-state. Moreover one
-        or more of these attributes can be provided as keyword-arguments.
-        This can be used to set several pen attributes in one statement.
-                 
-        Examples (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.pen(fillcolor="black", pencolor="red", pensize=10)
-          >>> turtle.pen()
-          {'pensize': 10, 'shown': True, 'resizemode': 'auto', 'outline': 1,
-          'pencolor': 'red', 'pendown': True, 'fillcolor': 'black',
-          'stretchfactor': (1,1), 'speed': 3}
-          >>> penstate=turtle.pen()
-          >>> turtle.color("yellow","")
-          >>> turtle.penup()
-          >>> turtle.pen()
-          {'pensize': 10, 'shown': True, 'resizemode': 'auto', 'outline': 1,
-          'pencolor': 'yellow', 'pendown': False, 'fillcolor': '',
-          'stretchfactor': (1,1), 'speed': 3}
-          >>> p.pen(penstate, fillcolor="green")
-          >>> p.pen()
-          {'pensize': 10, 'shown': True, 'resizemode': 'auto', 'outline': 1,
-          'pencolor': 'red', 'pendown': True, 'fillcolor': 'green',
-          'stretchfactor': (1,1), 'speed': 3}
-
-
-    .. method:: isdown(self):
-        Return True if pen is down, False if it's up.
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.penup()
-          >>> turtle.isdown()
-          False
-          >>> turtle.pendown()
-          >>> turtle.isdown()
-          True        
-        
-
-COLOR CONTROL
-
-
-    .. method:: color(*args)
-        Return or set pencolor and fillcolor.
-
-        Several input formats are allowed. They use 0, 1, 2, or 3 arguments
-        as follows:
-
-        - color()
-            Return the current pencolor and the current fillcolor
-            as a pair of color specification strings as are returned
-            by pencolor and fillcolor.
-        - color(colorstring), color((r,g,b)), color(r,g,b)
-            inputs as in pencolor, set both, fillcolor and pencolor,
-            to the given value.
-        - color(colorstring1, colorstring2),
-        - color((r1,g1,b1), (r2,g2,b2))
-            equivalent to pencolor(colorstring1) and fillcolor(colorstring2)
-            and analogously, if the other input format is used.
-
-        If turtleshape is a polygon, outline and interior of that polygon
-        is drawn with the newly set colors.
-        For more info see: pencolor, fillcolor
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.color('red', 'green')
-          >>> turtle.color()
-          ('red', 'green')
-          >>> colormode(255)
-          >>> color((40, 80, 120), (160, 200, 240))
-          >>> color()

-      
-
-    .. method:: pencolor(*args)
-        Return or set the pencolor.
-
-        Four input formats are allowed:
-        
-        - pencolor()
-          Return the current pencolor as color specification string,
-          possibly in hex-number format (see example).
-          May be used as input to another color/pencolor/fillcolor call.            
-        - pencolor(colorstring)
-          s is a Tk color specification string, such as "red" or "yellow"
-        - pencolor((r, g, b))
-          *a tuple* of r, g, and b, which represent, an RGB color,
-          and each of r, g, and b are in the range 0..colormode,
-          where colormode is either 1.0 or 255
-        - pencolor(r, g, b)
-          r, g, and b represent an RGB color, and each of r, g, and b
-          are in the range 0..colormode
-
-        If turtleshape is a polygon, the outline of that polygon is drawn
-        with the newly set pencolor.
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.pencolor('brown')
-          >>> tup = (0.2, 0.8, 0.55)
-          >>> turtle.pencolor(tup)
-          >>> turtle.pencolor()
-          '#33cc8c'
-
-
-    .. method:: fillcolor(*args)
-        """ Return or set the fillcolor.
-
-        Four input formats are allowed:
-        
-        - fillcolor()
-          Return the current fillcolor as color specification string,
-          possibly in hex-number format (see example).
-          May be used as input to another color/pencolor/fillcolor call.            
-        - fillcolor(colorstring)
-          s is a Tk color specification string, such as "red" or "yellow"
-        - fillcolor((r, g, b))
-          *a tuple* of r, g, and b, which represent, an RGB color,

-        - fillcolor(r, g, b)
-          r, g, and b represent an RGB color, and each of r, g, and b
-          are in the range 0..colormode
-
-        If turtleshape is a polygon, the interior of that polygon is drawn
-        with the newly set fillcolor.
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.fillcolor('violet')
-          >>> col = turtle.pencolor()
-          >>> turtle.fillcolor(col)
-          >>> turtle.fillcolor(0, .5, 0)
-
-

-
-
-FILLING
-
-
-    .. method:: fill(flag)
-        flag -- True/False (or 1/0 respectively)
-
-        Call fill(True) before drawing the shape you want to fill,
-        and  fill(False) when done. When used without argument: return 
-        fillstate (True if filling, False else).
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.fill(True)
-          >>> for _ in range(3):
-          ...    turtle.forward(100)
-          ...    turtle.left(120)
-          ...
-          >>> turtle.fill(False)
-
-
-    .. method:: begin_fill()
-        Called just before drawing a shape to be filled.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.color("black", "red")
-          >>> turtle.begin_fill()
-          >>> turtle.circle(60)
-          >>> turtle.end_fill()
-
-
-    .. method:: end_fill()
-        Fill the shape drawn after the call begin_fill().
-        
-        Example: See begin_fill()
-
-
-MORE DRAWING CONTROL
-
-
-    .. method:: reset()
-        Delete the turtle's drawings from the screen, re-center the turtle
-        and set variables to the default values.      
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (0.00,-22.00)
-          >>> turtle.heading()
-          100.0
-          >>> turtle.reset()
-          >>> turtle.position()
-          (0.00,0.00)
-          >>> turtle.heading()
-          0.0
-
-
-    .. method:: clear()
-        Delete the turtle's drawings from the screen. Do not move turtle.
-        State and position of the turtle as well as drawings of other
-        turtles are not affected.
-
-        Examples (for a Turtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> turtle.clear()
-    
-    
-    .. method:: write(arg, move=False, align='left', font=('Arial', 8, 'normal'))
-        arg -- info, which is to be written to the TurtleScreen
-        move (optional) -- True/False
-        align (optional) -- one of the strings "left", "center" or right"
-        font (optional) -- a triple (fontname, fontsize, fonttype)
-
-        Write text - the string representation of arg - at the current
-        turtle position according to align ("left", "center" or right")
-        and with the given font.
-        If move is True, the pen is moved to the bottom-right corner
-        of the text. By default, move is False.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.write('Home = ', True, align="center")
-          >>> turtle.write((0,0), True)
-    
-
-TURTLE STATE:
--------------
-
-VISIBILITY
-
-
-    .. method:: showturtle()
-    .. method:: st()
-        Makes the turtle visible.
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.hideturtle()
-          >>> turtle.showturtle()
-    
-    
-    .. method:: hideturtle()
-    .. method:: ht()
-        Makes the turtle invisible.
-        It's a good idea to do this while you're in the middle of  
-        doing some complex drawing, because hiding the turtle speeds 
-        up the drawing observably.
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.hideturtle()
-
-
-    .. method:: isvisible(self):
-        Return True if the Turtle is shown, False if it's hidden.
-        
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.hideturtle()
-          >>> print turtle.isvisible():
-          False
-
-
-APPEARANCE
-
-
-    .. method:: shape(name=None)
-        name -- a string, which is a valid shapename
-
-        Set turtle shape to shape with given name or, if name is not given,
-        return name of current shape.
-        Shape with name must exist in the TurtleScreen's shape dictionary.
-        Initially there are the following polygon shapes:
-        'arrow', 'turtle', 'circle', 'square', 'triangle', 'classic'.
-        To learn about how to deal with shapes see Screen-method register_shape.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.shape()
-          'arrow'
-          >>> turtle.shape("turtle")
-          >>> turtle.shape()
-          'turtle'
-
-
-    .. method:: resizemode(rmode=None)
-        rmode -- one of the strings "auto", "user", "noresize"
-        
-        Set resizemode to one of the values: "auto", "user", "noresize".
-        If rmode is not given, return current resizemode.
-        Different resizemodes have the following effects:
-
-          - "auto" adapts the appearance of the turtle
-                   corresponding to the value of pensize.
-          - "user" adapts the appearance of the turtle according to the
-                   values of stretchfactor and outlinewidth (outline),
-                   which are set by shapesize()
-          - "noresize" no adaption of the turtle's appearance takes place.
-        
-        resizemode("user") is called by a shapesize when used with arguments.
-
-        Examples (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.resizemode("noresize")
-          >>> turtle.resizemode()
-          'noresize'
-
-
-    .. method:: shapesize(stretch_wid=None, stretch_len=None, outline=None):    
-        stretch_wid -- positive number
-        stretch_len -- positive number
-        outline -- positive number
-        
-        Return or set the pen's attributes x/y-stretchfactors and/or outline.
-        Set resizemode to "user".
-        If and only if resizemode is set to "user", the turtle will be 
-        displayed stretched according to its stretchfactors:
-        stretch_wid is stretchfactor perpendicular to it's orientation,
-        stretch_len is stretchfactor in direction of it's orientation,
-        outline determines the width of the shapes's outline.
-
-        Examples (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::
-          >>> turtle.resizemode("user")
-          >>> turtle.shapesize(5, 5, 12)
-          >>> turtle.shapesize(outline=8)
-    
-    
-    .. method:: tilt(angle)
-        angle - a number
-
-        Rotate the turtleshape by angle from its current tilt-angle,
-        but do NOT change the turtle's heading (direction of movement).
-              
-        Examples (for a Turtle instance named turtle)::

-IV. USING EVENTS
-----------------
-
-
-    .. method:: onclick(fun, btn=1, add=None)  
-        fun --  a function with two arguments, to which will be assigned
-                the coordinates of the clicked point on the canvas.
-        num --  number of the mouse-button defaults to 1 (left mouse button).
-        add --  True or False. If True, new binding will be added, otherwise
-                it will replace a former binding.
-
-        Bind fun to mouse-click event on this turtle on canvas.
-        If fun is None, existing bindings are removed.
-        Example for the anonymous turtle, i. e. the procedural way::
-
-          >>> def turn(x, y):
-                  left(360)
-                
-          >>> onclick(turn) # Now clicking into the turtle will turn it.
-          >>> onclick(None)  # event-binding will be removed
-    
-    
-    .. method:: onrelease(fun, btn=1, add=None):
-        """
-        Arguments:
-        fun -- a function with two arguments, to which will be assigned
-                the coordinates of the clicked point on the canvas.
-        num --  number of the mouse-button defaults to 1 (left mouse button).
-        add --  True or False. If True, new binding will be added, otherwise
-                it will replace a former binding.
-
-        Bind fun to mouse-button-release event on this turtle on canvas.
-        If fun is None, existing bindings are removed.
-
-        Example (for a MyTurtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> class MyTurtle(Turtle):
-          ...     def glow(self,x,y):
-          ...         self.fillcolor("red")
-          ...     def unglow(self,x,y):
-          ...         self.fillcolor("")
-          ...             
-          >>> turtle = MyTurtle()
-          >>> turtle.onclick(turtle.glow)
-          >>> turtle.onrelease(turtle.unglow)
-          ### clicking on turtle turns fillcolor red,
-          ### unclicking turns it to transparent.
-    
-    
-    .. method:: ondrag(fun, btn=1, add=None):
-        fun -- a function with two arguments, to which will be assigned
-               the coordinates of the clicked point on the canvas.
-        num -- number of the mouse-button defaults to 1 (left mouse button).
-        add --  True or False. If True, new binding will be added, otherwise
-                it will replace a former binding.
-
-        Bind fun to mouse-move event on this turtle on canvas.
-        If fun is None, existing bindings are removed.
-
-        Remark: Every sequence of mouse-move-events on a turtle is preceded 
-        by a mouse-click event on that turtle.
-        If fun is None, existing bindings are removed.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> turtle.ondrag(turtle.goto)
-          ### Subsequently clicking and dragging a Turtle will move it across 
-          ### the screen thereby producing handdrawings (if pen is down).
-    
-    
-V. SPECIAL TURTLE METHODS
---------------------------
-
-
-    .. method:: begin_poly():
-        Start recording the vertices of a polygon. Current turtle position
-        is first vertex of polygon.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> turtle.begin_poly()
-
-
-    .. method:: end_poly():
-        Stop recording the vertices of a polygon. Current turtle position is
-        last vertex of polygon. This will be connected with the first vertex.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> turtle.end_poly()
-
-
-    .. method:: get_poly():
-        Return the lastly recorded polygon.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> p = turtle.get_poly()
-          >>> turtle.register_shape("myFavouriteShape", p)
-
-
-    .. method:: clone():
-        Create and return a clone of the turtle with same position, heading
-        and turtle properties.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named mick):
-        mick = Turtle()
-        joe = mick.clone()
-
-
-    .. method:: getturtle():
-        Return the Turtleobject itself.
-        Only reasonable use: as a function to return the 'anonymous turtle':
-        
-        Example:
-          >>> pet = getturtle()
-          >>> pet.fd(50)
-          >>> pet
-          <turtle.Turtle object at 0x01417350>
-          >>> turtles()
-          [<turtle.Turtle object at 0x01417350>]
-
-
-    .. method:: getscreen():
-        Return the TurtleScreen object, the turtle is drawing  on.
-        So TurtleScreen-methods can be called for that object.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> ts = turtle.getscreen()
-          >>> ts
-          <turtle.Screen object at 0x01417710>
-          >>> ts.bgcolor("pink")
-
-
-    .. method:: def setundobuffer(size):
-        size -- an integer or None
-
-        Set or disable undobuffer.
-        If size is an integer an empty undobuffer of given size is installed.
-        Size gives the maximum number of turtle-actions that can be undone
-        by the undo() method/function.
-        If size is None, no undobuffer is present. 
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> turtle.setundobuffer(42)        
-
-
-    .. method:: undobufferentries():
-        """Return count of entries in the undobuffer.
-
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> while undobufferentries():
-          ...     undo()
-
-
-    .. method:: tracer(flag=None, delay=None)
-        A replica of the corresponding TurtleScreen-method
-        *Deprecated since Python 2.6*  (as RawTurtle method)
-
-
-    .. method:: window_width()
-    .. method:: window_height()
-        Both are replicas of the corresponding TurtleScreen-methods
-        *Deprecated since Python 2.6*  (as RawTurtle methods)
-      
-
-EXCURSUS ABOUT THE USE OF COMPOUND SHAPES
------------------------------------------
-
-To use compound turtle shapes, which consist of several polygons
-of different color, you must use the helper class Shape 
-explicitely as described below:
-
-    1. Create an empty Shape object of type compound
-    2. Add as many components to this object as desired, 
-       using the addcomponent() method:
-       
-    .. method:: addcomponent(self, poly, fill, outline=None)
-        poly -- a polygon
-        fill -- a color, the poly will be filled with
-        outline -- a color for the poly's outline (if given)
-    
-So it goes like this::
-
-  >>> s = Shape("compound")
-  >>> poly1 = ((0,0),(10,-5),(0,10),(-10,-5))
-  >>> s.addcomponent(poly1, "red", "blue")
-  >>> poly2 = ((0,0),(10,-5),(-10,-5))
-  >>> s.addcomponent(poly2, "blue", "red")
-
-Now add Shape s to the Screen's shapelist ...
-.. and use it::
-
-  >>> register_shape("myshape", s)
-  >>> shape("myshape")
-       
-
-NOTE 1: addcomponent() is a method of class Shape (not of
-Turtle nor Screen) and thus there is NO FUNCTION of the same name. 
-
-NOTE 2: class Shape is used internally by the register_shape method
-in different ways. 
-
-The application programmer has to deal with the Shape class 
-ONLY when using compound shapes like shown above!
-
-NOTE 3: A short description of the class Shape is in section 4.

+Methods of RawTurtle/Turtle and corresponding functions
+=======================================================
 
-        Example (for a TurtleScreen instance named screen):
-        screen.clear()
+Most of the examples in this section refer to a Turtle instance called
+``turtle``.
 
-        *Note*: this method is only available as the function named
-        clearscreen(). (The function clear() is another one derived from
-        the Turtle-method clear()!).
+Turtle motion
+-------------
+
+.. function:: forward(distance)
+              fd(distance)
+
+   :param distance: a number (integer or float)
+
+   Move the turtle forward by the specified *distance*, in the direction the
+   turtle is headed.
+
+   >>> turtle.position()
+   (0.00, 0.00)
+   >>> turtle.forward(25)
+   >>> turtle.position()
+   (25.00,0.00)
+   >>> turtle.forward(-75)
+   >>> turtle.position()
+   (-50.00,0.00)
 
 
-    .. method:: reset()
-    .. method:: resetscreen()
-        Reset all Turtles on the Screen to their initial state.
+.. function:: back(distance)
+              bk(distance)
+              backward(distance)
 
-        Example (for a TurtleScreen instance named screen):
-          >>> screen.reset()
+   :param distance: a number
 
-        *Note*: this method is pnly available as the function named
-        resetscreen(). (The function reset() is another one derived from
-        the Turtle-method reset()!).
+   Move the turtle backward by *distance*, opposite to the direction the
+   turtle is headed.  Do not change the turtle's heading.
+
+   >>> turtle.position()
+   (0.00, 0.00)
+   >>> turtle.backward(30)
+   >>> turtle.position()
+   (-30.00, 0.00)
 
 
-    .. method:: screensize(canvwidth=None, canvheight=None, bg=None):
-        canvwidth -- positive integer, new width of canvas in pixels
-        canvheight -- positive integer, new height of canvas in pixels
-        bg -- colorstring or color-tupel, new backgroundcolor
-        
-        If no arguments are given, return current (canvaswidth, canvasheight)
-        Resize the canvas, the turtles are drawing on.
-        Do not alter the drawing window. To observe hidden parts of
-        the canvas use the scrollbars. (So one can make visible those 
-        parts of a drawing, which were outside the canvas before!)
+.. function:: right(angle)
+              rt(angle)
 
-        Example (for a Turtle instance named turtle):
-          >>> turtle.screensize(2000,1500)
-          ### e. g. to search for an erroneously escaped turtle ;-)
-        
-        
-    .. method:: setworldcoordinates(llx, lly, urx, ury):
-        llx -- a number, x-coordinate of lower left corner of canvas
-        lly -- a number, y-coordinate of lower left corner of canvas
-        urx -- a number, x-coordinate of upper right corner of canvas
-        ury -- a number, y-coordinate of upper right corner of canvas
+   :param angle: a number (integer or float)
 
-        Set up user coodinate-system and switch to mode 'world' if necessary.
-        This performs a screen.reset. If mode 'world' is already active,
-        all drawings are redrawn according to the new coordinates.
+   Turn turtle right by *angle* units.  (Units are by default degrees, but
+   can be set via the :func:`degrees` and :func:`radians` functions.)  Angle
+   orientation depends on the turtle mode, see :func:`mode`.
 
-        But *ATTENTION*: in user-defined coordinatesystems angles may appear
-        distorted. (see Screen.mode())
-
-        Example (for a TurtleScreen instance named screen):
-          >>> screen.reset()
-          >>> screen.setworldcoordinates(-50,-7.5,50,7.5)
-          >>> for _ in range(72):

-        
-        Set or return the drawing delay in milliseconds. (This is sort of

+   Draw a circle with given *radius*.  The center is *radius* units left of

+
+   As the circle is approximated by an inscribed regular polygon, *steps*

+
+   :param speed: an integer in the range 0..10 or a speedstring (see below)
+
+   Set the turtle's speed to an integer value in the range 0..10.  If no
+   argument is given, return current speed.
+
+   If input is a number greater than 10 or smaller than 0.5, speed is set

+   * "fastest":  0
+   * "fast":  10
+   * "normal":  6
+   * "slow":  3
+   * "slowest":  1
+
+   Speeds from 1 to 10 enforce increasingly faster animation of line drawing
+   and turtle turning.
+
+   Attention: *speed* = 0 means that *no* animation takes
+   place. forward/back makes turtle jump and likewise left/right make the
+   turtle turn instantly.

+
+   ``fillcolor((r, g, b))``
+      Set fillcolor to the RGB color represented by the tuple of *r*, *g*, and
+      *b*.  Each of *r*, *g*, and *b* must be in the range 0..colormode, where
+      colormode is either 1.0 or 255 (see :func:`colormode`).
+
+   ``fillcolor(r, g, b)``
+      Set fillcolor to the RGB color represented by *r*, *g*, and *b*.  Each of
+      *r*, *g*, and *b* must be in the range 0..colormode.
+
+    If turtleshape is a polygon, the interior of that polygon is drawn
+    with the newly set fillcolor.
+
+    >>> turtle.fillcolor("violet")
+    >>> col = turtle.pencolor()
+    >>> turtle.fillcolor(col)
+    >>> turtle.fillcolor(0, .5, 0)
+
+
+.. function:: color(*args)
+
+   Return or set pencolor and fillcolor.
+
+   Several input formats are allowed.  They use 0 to 3 arguments as
+   follows:
+
+   ``color()``
+      Return the current pencolor and the current fillcolor as a pair of color
+      specification strings as returned by :func:`pencolor` and
+      :func:`fillcolor`.
+
+   ``color(colorstring)``, ``color((r,g,b))``, ``color(r,g,b)``
+      Inputs as in :func:`pencolor`, set both, fillcolor and pencolor, to the
+      given value.
+
+   ``color(colorstring1, colorstring2)``, ``color((r1,g1,b1), (r2,g2,b2))``
+      Equivalent to ``pencolor(colorstring1)`` and ``fillcolor(colorstring2)``
+      and analogously if the other input format is used.
+
+    If turtleshape is a polygon, outline and interior of that polygon is drawn
+    with the newly set colors.
+
+    >>> turtle.color("red", "green")
+    >>> turtle.color()
+    ("red", "green")
+    >>> colormode(255)
+    >>> color((40, 80, 120), (160, 200, 240))
+    >>> color()
+    ("#285078", "#a0c8f0")
+
+
+See also: Screen method :func:`colormode`.
+
+
+Filling
+~~~~~~~
+
+.. function:: fill(flag)
+
+   :param flag: True/False (or 1/0 respectively)
+
+   Call ``fill(True)`` before drawing the shape you want to fill, and
+   ``fill(False)`` when done.  When used without argument: return fillstate
+   (``True`` if filling, ``False`` else).
+
+   >>> turtle.fill(True)
+   >>> for _ in range(3):
+   ...    turtle.forward(100)
+   ...    turtle.left(120)
+   ...
+   >>> turtle.fill(False)
+
+
+.. function:: begin_fill()
+
+   Call just before drawing a shape to be filled.  Equivalent to ``fill(True)``.
+
+   >>> turtle.color("black", "red")
+   >>> turtle.begin_fill()
+   >>> turtle.circle(60)
+   >>> turtle.end_fill()
+
+
+.. function:: end_fill()
+
+   Fill the shape drawn after the last call to :func:`begin_fill`.  Equivalent
+   to ``fill(False)``.
+
+
+More drawing control
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. function:: reset()
+
+   Delete the turtle's drawings from the screen, re-center the turtle and set
+   variables to the default values.
+
+   >>> turtle.position()
+   (0.00,-22.00)
+   >>> turtle.heading()
+   100.0
+   >>> turtle.reset()
+   >>> turtle.position()
+   (0.00,0.00)
+   >>> turtle.heading()
+   0.0
+
+
+.. function:: clear()
+
+   Delete the turtle's drawings from the screen.  Do not move turtle.  State and
+   position of the turtle as well as drawings of other turtles are not affected.
+
+
+.. function:: write(arg, move=False, align="left", font=("Arial", 8, "normal"))
+
+   :param arg: object to be written to the TurtleScreen
+   :param move: True/False
+   :param align: one of the strings "left", "center" or right"
+   :param font: a triple (fontname, fontsize, fonttype)
+
+   Write text - the string representation of *arg* - at the current turtle
+   position according to *align* ("left", "center" or right") and with the given
+   font.  If *move* is True, the pen is moved to the bottom-right corner of the
+   text.  By default, *move* is False.
+
+   >>> turtle.write("Home = ", True, align="center")
+   >>> turtle.write((0,0), True)
+
+
+Turtle state
+------------
+
+Visibility
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. function:: showturtle()
+              st()
+
+   Make the turtle visible.
+
+   >>> turtle.hideturtle()
+   >>> turtle.showturtle()
+
+
+.. function:: hideturtle()
+              ht()
+
+   Make the turtle invisible.  It's a good idea to do this while you're in the
+   middle of doing some complex drawing, because hiding the turtle speeds up the
+   drawing observably.
+
+   >>> turtle.hideturtle()
+
+
+.. function:: isvisible()
+
+   Return True if the Turtle is shown, False if it's hidden.
+
+   >>> turtle.hideturtle()
+   >>> print turtle.isvisible():
+   False
+
+
+Appearance
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. function:: shape(name=None)
+
+   :param name: a string which is a valid shapename
+
+   Set turtle shape to shape with given *name* or, if name is not given, return
+   name of current shape.  Shape with *name* must exist in the TurtleScreen's
+   shape dictionary.  Initially there are the following polygon shapes: "arrow",
+   "turtle", "circle", "square", "triangle", "classic".  To learn about how to
+   deal with shapes see Screen method :func:`register_shape`.
+
+   >>> turtle.shape()
+   "arrow"
+   >>> turtle.shape("turtle")
+   >>> turtle.shape()
+   "turtle"
+
+
+.. function:: resizemode(rmode=None)
+
+   :param rmode: one of the strings "auto", "user", "noresize"
+
+   Set resizemode to one of the values: "auto", "user", "noresize".  If *rmode*
+   is not given, return current resizemode.  Different resizemodes have the
+   following effects:
+
+   - "auto": adapts the appearance of the turtle corresponding to the value of pensize.
+   - "user": adapts the appearance of the turtle according to the values of
+     stretchfactor and outlinewidth (outline), which are set by
+     :func:`shapesize`.
+   - "noresize": no adaption of the turtle's appearance takes place.
+
+   resizemode("user") is called by :func:`shapesize` when used with arguments.
+
+   >>> turtle.resizemode("noresize")
+   >>> turtle.resizemode()
+   "noresize"
+
+
+.. function:: shapesize(stretch_wid=None, stretch_len=None, outline=None)
+
+   :param stretch_wid: positive number
+   :param stretch_len: positive number
+   :param outline: positive number
+
+   Return or set the pen's attributes x/y-stretchfactors and/or outline.  Set
+   resizemode to "user".  If and only if resizemode is set to "user", the turtle
+   will be displayed stretched according to its stretchfactors: *stretch_wid* is
+   stretchfactor perpendicular to its orientation, *stretch_len* is
+   stretchfactor in direction of its orientation, *outline* determines the width
+   of the shapes's outline.
+
+   >>> turtle.resizemode("user")
+   >>> turtle.shapesize(5, 5, 12)
+   >>> turtle.shapesize(outline=8)
+
+
+.. function:: tilt(angle)
+
+   :param angle: a number
+
+   Rotate the turtleshape by *angle* from its current tilt-angle, but do *not*
+   change the turtle's heading (direction of movement).
+
+   >>> turtle.shape("circle")
+   >>> turtle.shapesize(5,2)
+   >>> turtle.tilt(30)
+   >>> turtle.fd(50)
+   >>> turtle.tilt(30)
+   >>> turtle.fd(50)
+
+
+.. function:: settiltangle(angle)
+
+   :param angle: a number
+
+   Rotate the turtleshape to point in the direction specified by *angle*,
+   regardless of its current tilt-angle.  *Do not* change the turtle's heading
+   (direction of movement).
+
+   >>> turtle.shape("circle")
+   >>> turtle.shapesize(5,2)
+   >>> turtle.settiltangle(45)
+   >>> stamp()
+   >>> turtle.fd(50)
+   >>> turtle.settiltangle(-45)
+   >>> stamp()
+   >>> turtle.fd(50)
+
+
+.. function:: tiltangle()
+
+   Return the current tilt-angle, i.e. the angle between the orientation of the
+   turtleshape and the heading of the turtle (its direction of movement).
+
+   >>> turtle.shape("circle")
+   >>> turtle.shapesize(5,2)
+   >>> turtle.tilt(45)
+   >>> turtle.tiltangle()
+   45
+
+
+Using events
+------------
+
+.. function:: onclick(fun, btn=1, add=None)
+
+   :param fun: a function with two arguments which will be called with the
+               coordinates of the clicked point on the canvas
+   :param num: number of the mouse-button, defaults to 1 (left mouse button)
+   :param add: ``True`` or ``False`` -- if ``True``, a new binding will be
+               added, otherwise it will replace a former binding
+
+   Bind *fun* to mouse-click events on this turtle.  If *fun* is ``None``,
+   existing bindings are removed.  Example for the anonymous turtle, i.e. the
+   procedural way:
+
+   >>> def turn(x, y):
+   ...     left(180)
+   ...
+   >>> onclick(turn)  # Now clicking into the turtle will turn it.
+   >>> onclick(None)  # event-binding will be removed
+
+
+.. function:: onrelease(fun, btn=1, add=None)
+
+   :param fun: a function with two arguments which will be called with the
+               coordinates of the clicked point on the canvas
+   :param num: number of the mouse-button, defaults to 1 (left mouse button)
+   :param add: ``True`` or ``False`` -- if ``True``, a new binding will be
+               added, otherwise it will replace a former binding
+
+   Bind *fun* to mouse-button-release events on this turtle.  If *fun* is
+   ``None``, existing bindings are removed.
+
+   >>> class MyTurtle(Turtle):
+   ...     def glow(self,x,y):
+   ...         self.fillcolor("red")
+   ...     def unglow(self,x,y):
+   ...         self.fillcolor("")
+   ...
+   >>> turtle = MyTurtle()
+   >>> turtle.onclick(turtle.glow)     # clicking on turtle turns fillcolor red,
+   >>> turtle.onrelease(turtle.unglow) # releasing turns it to transparent.
+
+
+.. function:: ondrag(fun, btn=1, add=None)
+
+   :param fun: a function with two arguments which will be called with the
+               coordinates of the clicked point on the canvas
+   :param num: number of the mouse-button, defaults to 1 (left mouse button)
+   :param add: ``True`` or ``False`` -- if ``True``, a new binding will be
+               added, otherwise it will replace a former binding
+
+   Bind *fun* to mouse-move events on this turtle.  If *fun* is ``None``,
+   existing bindings are removed.
+
+   Remark: Every sequence of mouse-move-events on a turtle is preceded by a
+   mouse-click event on that turtle.
+
+   >>> turtle.ondrag(turtle.goto)
+   # Subsequently, clicking and dragging the Turtle will move it across
+   # the screen thereby producing handdrawings (if pen is down).
+
+
+Special Turtle methods
+----------------------
+
+.. function:: begin_poly()
+
+   Start recording the vertices of a polygon.  Current turtle position is first
+   vertex of polygon.
+
+
+.. function:: end_poly()
+
+   Stop recording the vertices of a polygon.  Current turtle position is last
+   vertex of polygon.  This will be connected with the first vertex.
+
+
+.. function:: get_poly()
+
+   Return the last recorded polygon.
+
+   >>> p = turtle.get_poly()
+   >>> turtle.register_shape("myFavouriteShape", p)
+
+
+.. function:: clone()
+
+   Create and return a clone of the turtle with same position, heading and
+   turtle properties.
+
+   >>> mick = Turtle()
+   >>> joe = mick.clone()
+
+
+.. function:: getturtle()
+
+   Return the Turtle object itself.  Only reasonable use: as a function to
+   return the "anonymous turtle":
+
+   >>> pet = getturtle()
+   >>> pet.fd(50)
+   >>> pet
+   <turtle.Turtle object at 0x01417350>
+   >>> turtles()
+   [<turtle.Turtle object at 0x01417350>]
+
+
+.. function:: getscreen()
+
+   Return the :class:`TurtleScreen` object the turtle is drawing on.
+   TurtleScreen methods can then be called for that object.
+
+   >>> ts = turtle.getscreen()
+   >>> ts
+   <turtle.Screen object at 0x01417710>
+   >>> ts.bgcolor("pink")
+
+
+.. function:: setundobuffer(size)
+
+   :param size: an integer or ``None``
+
+   Set or disable undobuffer.  If *size* is an integer an empty undobuffer of
+   given size is installed.  *size* gives the maximum number of turtle actions
+   that can be undone by the :func:`undo` method/function.  If *size* is
+   ``None``, the undobuffer is disabled.
+
+   >>> turtle.setundobuffer(42)
+
+
+.. function:: undobufferentries()
+
+   Return number of entries in the undobuffer.
+
+   >>> while undobufferentries():
+   ...     undo()
+
+
+.. function:: tracer(flag=None, delay=None)
+
+   A replica of the corresponding TurtleScreen method.
+
+   .. deprecated:: 2.6
+
+
+.. function:: window_width()
+              window_height()
+
+   Both are replicas of the corresponding TurtleScreen methods.
+
+   .. deprecated:: 2.6
+
+
+.. _compoundshapes:
+
+Excursus about the use of compound shapes
+-----------------------------------------
+
+To use compound turtle shapes, which consist of several polygons of different
+color, you must use the helper class :class:`Shape` explicitly as described
+below:
+
+1. Create an empty Shape object of type "compound".
+2. Add as many components to this object as desired, using the
+   :meth:`addcomponent` method.
+
+   For example:
+
+   >>> s = Shape("compound")
+   >>> poly1 = ((0,0),(10,-5),(0,10),(-10,-5))
+   >>> s.addcomponent(poly1, "red", "blue")
+   >>> poly2 = ((0,0),(10,-5),(-10,-5))
+   >>> s.addcomponent(poly2, "blue", "red")
+
+3. Now add the Shape to the Screen's shapelist and use it:
+
+   >>> register_shape("myshape", s)
+   >>> shape("myshape")
+
+
+.. note::
+
+   The :class:`Shape` class is used internally by the :func:`register_shape`
+   method in different ways.  The application programmer has to deal with the
+   Shape class *only* when using compound shapes like shown above!
+
+
+Methods of TurtleScreen/Screen and corresponding functions
+==========================================================
+
+Most of the examples in this section refer to a TurtleScreen instance called
+``screen``.
+
+
+Window control
+--------------
+
+.. function:: bgcolor(*args)
+
+   :param args: a color string or three numbers in the range 0..colormode or a
+                3-tuple of such numbers
+
+   Set or return background color of the TurtleScreen.
+
+   >>> screen.bgcolor("orange")
+   >>> screen.bgcolor()
+   "orange"
+   >>> screen.bgcolor(0.5,0,0.5)
+   >>> screen.bgcolor()
+   "#800080"
+
+
+.. function:: bgpic(picname=None)
+
+   :param picname: a string, name of a gif-file or ``"nopic"``, or ``None``
+
+   Set background image or return name of current backgroundimage.  If *picname*
+   is a filename, set the corresponding image as background.  If *picname* is
+   ``"nopic"``, delete background image, if present.  If *picname* is ``None``,
+   return the filename of the current backgroundimage.
+
+   >>> screen.bgpic()
+   "nopic"
+   >>> screen.bgpic("landscape.gif")
+   >>> screen.bgpic()
+   "landscape.gif"
+
+
+.. function:: clear()
+              clearscreen()
+
+   Delete all drawings and all turtles from the TurtleScreen.  Reset the now
+   empty TurtleScreen to its initial state: white background, no background
+   image, no event bindings and tracing on.
+
+   .. note::
+      This TurtleScreen method is available as a global function only under the
+      name ``clearscreen``.  The global function ``clear`` is another one
+      derived from the Turtle method ``clear``.
+
+
+.. function:: reset()
+              resetscreen()
+
+   Reset all Turtles on the Screen to their initial state.
+
+   .. note::
+      This TurtleScreen method is available as a global function only under the
+      name ``resetscreen``.  The global function ``reset`` is another one
+      derived from the Turtle method ``reset``.
+
+
+.. function:: screensize(canvwidth=None, canvheight=None, bg=None)
+
+   :param canvwidth: positive integer, new width of canvas in pixels
+   :param canvheight: positive integer, new height of canvas in pixels
+   :param bg: colorstring or color-tupel, new background color
+
+   If no arguments are given, return current (canvaswidth, canvasheight).  Else
+   resize the canvas the turtles are drawing on.  Do not alter the drawing
+   window.  To observe hidden parts of the canvas, use the scrollbars. With this
+   method, one can make visible those parts of a drawing which were outside the
+   canvas before.
+
+      >>> turtle.screensize(2000,1500)
+      # e.g. to search for an erroneously escaped turtle ;-)
+
+
+.. function:: setworldcoordinates(llx, lly, urx, ury)
+
+   :param llx: a number, x-coordinate of lower left corner of canvas
+   :param lly: a number, y-coordinate of lower left corner of canvas
+   :param urx: a number, x-coordinate of upper right corner of canvas
+   :param ury: a number, y-coordinate of upper right corner of canvas
+
+   Set up user-defined coordinate system and switch to mode "world" if
+   necessary.  This performs a ``screen.reset()``.  If mode "world" is already
+   active, all drawings are redrawn according to the new coordinates.
+
+   **ATTENTION**: in user-defined coordinate systems angles may appear
+   distorted.
+
+   >>> screen.reset()
+   >>> screen.setworldcoordinates(-50,-7.5,50,7.5)
+   >>> for _ in range(72):
+   ...     left(10)
+   ...
+   >>> for _ in range(8):
+   ...     left(45); fd(2)   # a regular octogon
+
+
+Animation control
+-----------------
+
+.. function:: delay(delay=None)
+
+   :param delay: positive integer
+
+   Set or return the drawing *delay* in milliseconds.  (This is approximately
+   the time interval between two consecutived canvas updates.)  The longer the
+   drawing delay, the slower the animation.
+
+   Optional argument:
+
+   >>> screen.delay(15)
+   >>> screen.delay()
+   15
+
+
+.. function:: tracer(n=None, delay=None)
+
+   :param n: nonnegative integer
+   :param delay: nonnegative integer
+
+   Turn turtle animation on/off and set delay for update drawings.  If *n* is
+   given, only each n-th regular screen update is really performed.  (Can be
+   used to accelerate the drawing of complex graphics.)  Second argument sets
+   delay value (see :func:`delay`).
+
+   >>> screen.tracer(8, 25)
+   >>> dist = 2
+   >>> for i in range(200):
+   ...     fd(dist)
+   ...     rt(90)
+   ...     dist += 2
+
+
+.. function:: update()
+
+   Perform a TurtleScreen update. To be used when tracer is turned off.
+
+See also the RawTurtle/Turtle method :func:`speed`.
+
+
+Using screen events
+-------------------
+
+.. function:: listen(xdummy=None, ydummy=None)
+
+   Set focus on TurtleScreen (in order to collect key-events).  Dummy arguments
+   are provided in order to be able to pass :func:`listen` to the onclick method.
+
+
+.. function:: onkey(fun, key)
+
+   :param fun: a function with no arguments or ``None``
+   :param key: a string: key (e.g. "a") or key-symbol (e.g. "space")
+
+   Bind *fun* to key-release event of key.  If *fun* is ``None``, event bindings
+   are removed. Remark: in order to be able to register key-events, TurtleScreen
+   must have the focus. (See method :func:`listen`.)
+
+   >>> def f():
+   ...     fd(50)
+   ...     lt(60)
+   ...
+   >>> screen.onkey(f, "Up")
+   >>> screen.listen()
+
+
+.. function:: onclick(fun, btn=1, add=None)
+              onscreenclick(fun, btn=1, add=None)
+
+   :param fun: a function with two arguments which will be called with the
+               coordinates of the clicked point on the canvas
+   :param num: number of the mouse-button, defaults to 1 (left mouse button)
+   :param add: ``True`` or ``False`` -- if ``True``, a new binding will be
+               added, otherwise it will replace a former binding
+
+   Bind *fun* to mouse-click events on this screen.  If *fun* is ``None``,
+   existing bindings are removed.
+
+   Example for a TurtleScreen instance named ``screen`` and a Turtle instance
+   named turtle:
+
+   >>> screen.onclick(turtle.goto)
+   # Subsequently clicking into the TurtleScreen will
+   # make the turtle move to the clicked point.
+   >>> screen.onclick(None)  # remove event binding again
+
+   .. note::
+      This TurtleScreen method is available as a global function only under the
+      name ``onscreenclick``.  The global function ``onclick`` is another one
+      derived from the Turtle method ``onclick``.
+
+
+.. function:: ontimer(fun, t=0)
+
+   :param fun: a function with no arguments
+   :param t: a number >= 0
+
+   Install a timer that calls *fun* after *t* milliseconds.
+
+   >>> running = True
+   >>> def f():
+           if running:
+               fd(50)
+               lt(60)
+               screen.ontimer(f, 250)
+   >>> f()   ### makes the turtle marching around
+   >>> running = False
+
+
+Settings and special methods
+----------------------------
+
+.. function:: mode(mode=None)
+
+   :param mode: one of the strings "standard", "logo" or "world"
+
+   Set turtle mode ("standard", "logo" or "world") and perform reset.  If mode
+   is not given, current mode is returned.
+
+   Mode "standard" is compatible with old :mod:`turtle`.  Mode "logo" is
+   compatible with most Logo turtle graphics.  Mode "world" uses user-defined
+   "world coordinates". **Attention**: in this mode angles appear distorted if
+   ``x/y`` unit-ratio doesn't equal 1.
+
+   ============ ========================= ===================
+       Mode      Initial turtle heading     positive angles
+   ============ ========================= ===================
+    "standard"    to the right (east)       counterclockwise
+      "logo"        upward    (north)         clockwise
+   ============ ========================= ===================

+Help and configuration
+======================
+
+How to use help
+---------------
+
+The public methods of the Screen and Turtle classes are documented extensively
+via docstrings.  So these can be used as online-help via the Python help
+facilities:
+
+- When using IDLE, tooltips show the signatures and first lines of the
+  docstrings of typed in function-/method calls.
+
+- Calling :func:`help` on methods or functions displays the docstrings::
+
+     >>> help(Screen.bgcolor)
+     Help on method bgcolor in module turtle:
     
-    Alias: RawPen
+     bgcolor(self, *args) unbound turtle.Screen method
+         Set or return backgroundcolor of the TurtleScreen.
     
-    Define a turtle.
-    A description of the methods follows below. All methods are also
-    available as functions (to control some anonymous turtle) thus
-    providing a procedural interface to turtlegraphics
+         Arguments (if given): a color string or three numbers
+         in the range 0..colormode or a 3-tuple of such numbers.
     
-class Turtle()
-    Subclass of RawTurtle, has the same interface with the additional
-    property, that Turtle instances draw on a default Screen object,
-    which is created automatically, when needed for the first time.
     
-class TurtleScreen(cv)
-    cv -- a Tkinter-Canvas
-    Provides screen oriented methods like setbg etc.
-    A description of the methods follows below.
+           >>> screen.bgcolor("orange")
+           >>> screen.bgcolor()
+           "orange"

+           >>> screen.bgcolor()
+           "#800080"
     
-class Screen()
-    Subclass of TurtleScreen, with four methods added.
-    All methods are also available as functions to conrtol a unique 
-    Screen instance thus belonging to the procedural interface 
-    to turtlegraphics. This Screen instance is automatically created
-    when needed for the first time.
-
-class ScrolledCavas(master)
-    master -- some Tkinter widget to contain the ScrolledCanvas, i.e.
-    a Tkinter-canvas with scrollbars added.
-    Used by class Screen, which thus provides automatically a 
-    ScrolledCanvas as playground for the turtles.
-
-class Shape(type\_, data)
-    type --- one of the strings "polygon", "image", "compound"
-
-    Data structure modeling shapes.
-    The pair type\_, data must be as follows:
+     >>> help(Turtle.penup)
+     Help on method penup in module turtle:
     
-         type\_                  data
-
-       "polygon"     a polygon-tuple, i. e. 
-                     a tuple of pairs of coordinates
-       
-       "image"       an image  (in this form only used internally!)
-       
-       "compound"    None
-                     A compund shape has to be constructed using
-                     the addcomponent method
-                     
-    addcomponent(self, poly, fill, outline=None)
-        poly -- polygon, i. e. a tuple of pairs of numbers.
-        fill -- the fillcolor of the component,
-        outline -- the outline color of the component.
-
-        Example:
-          >>> poly = ((0,0),(10,-5),(0,10),(-10,-5))
-          >>> s = Shape("compound")
-          >>> s.addcomponent(poly, "red", "blue")

 Short explanation of selected entries:
 
-- The first four lines correspond to the arguments of the 
-  Screen.setup method
-- Line 5 and 6 correspond to the arguments of the Method
-  Screen.screensize
-- shape can be any of the built-in shapes, e.g: arrow, turtle,
-  etc. For more info try help(shape)
-- if you want to use no fillcolor (i. e. turtle transparent),
-  you have to write:
-  fillcolor = ""
-  (All not empty strings must not have quotes in the cfg-file!)
-- if you want to reflect the turtle its state, you have to use
-  resizemode = auto
-- if you set, e. g.:  language = italian
-  the docstringdict turtle_docstringdict_italian.py will be
-  loaded at import time (if present on the import path, e.g. in
-  the same directory as turtle.py
-- the entries exampleturtle  and examplescreen define the names
-  of these objects as they occur in the docstrings. The 
-  transformation of method-docstrings to function-docstrings 
-  will delete these names from the docstrings. (See examples in 
-  section on HELP)
-- using_IDLE  Set this to True if you regularly work with IDLE
-  and it's -n - switch. ("No subprocess") This will prevent 
-  exitonclick to enter the mainloop.
-  
-There can be a turtle.cfg file in the directory where turtle.py
-is stored and an additional one in the currentworkingdirectory.
-The latter will override the settings of the first one.

+Demo scripts
+============
+
+There is a set of demo scripts in the turtledemo directory located in the
+:file:`Demo/turtle` directory in the source distribution.
+
 It contains:
 
-- a set of 15 demo scripts demonstrating differet features
-  of the new module turtle.py
-- a Demo-Viewer turtleDemo.py which can be used to view
-  the sourcecode of the scripts and run them at the same time
-  14 of the examples can be accessed via the Examples Menu.
-  All of them can also be run standalone.
-- The example  turtledemo_two_canvases.py demonstrates the
-  simultaneous use of two canvases with the turtle module.
-  Therefor it only can be run standalone.
-- There is a turtle.cfg file in this directory, which also
-  serves as an example for how to write and use such files.
