Python turtle shapes

Question

I am drawing something with python turtle , i used the shape functions but the shapes overdraw the others before them (i can see the shapes moving) , and i get just the last shape:

`up()
goto(-200,-200)
down()
shape("circle")
shapesize(2,1,1)
fillcolor("black")
up()
goto(-300,-100)
down()
shape("circle")
shapesize(4,4,1)
fillcolor("black")
up()
goto(-100,-100)
down()
shape("circle")
shapesize(4,4,1)
fillcolor("black")`

I am looking forward for your answers , thank you !

Solution 1

turtle.shape changes the shape of the turtle as it's drawing. To actually draw that shape where it is, you need turtle.stamp():

up()
goto(-200,-200)
down()
shape("circle")
shapesize(2,1,1)
fillcolor("black")
stamp()
up()
goto(-300,-100)
down()
shape("circle")
shapesize(4,4,1)
fillcolor("black")
stamp()
up()
goto(-100,-100)
down()
shape("circle")
shapesize(4,4,1)
fillcolor("black")
stamp()

Solution 2

use the turtle.stamp() function

What do you expect to happen?

I want those shapes to stay in place (i was trying to draw a skull (the eyes and nose)) while i could use turtle.circle for the eyes the nose i was trying to draw has an elliptic form

I have the same problem, moving shapes as default behavior is suprising form me, but ok
