18 Sep turtle.down() or turtle.pendown() function in Python

The turtle.down() or turtle.pendown() function puts the pen down. When the pen is down, the turtle draws a line as it moves.

Syntax: turtle.pendown() or turtle.down()
Parameters: None.

Let us see an example to implement the turtle.pendown() function in Python:

Demo19.py

# turtle.pendown() function in Python
# Code by Studyopedia

import turtle

window = turtle.Screen()
t = turtle.Turtle()

t.penup()
t.forward(50)   # Moves without drawing
t.pendown()     # Put the pen down
t.forward(50)   # Draws a line

window.exitonclick()

The following is the output:

In the above code, we followed the below steps:

1. Import the module: import turtle loads Python’s turtle graphics library.
2. Create the screen: window = turtle.Screen() opens the drawing window.
3. Create the turtle: t = turtle.Turtle() creates the turtle (your pen).
4. Lift the pen: t.penup() raises the pen so movements won’t draw.
5. Move without drawing: t.forward(50) advances 50 units with no line.
6. Lower the pen: t.pendown() puts the pen back down to resume drawing.
7. Draw a line: t.forward(50) moves 50 units and draws a line.
8. Close on click: window.exitonclick() keeps the window open until you click, then closes.
