The turtle.stamp() function in Python places an invisible “stamp” of the turtle’s current shape onto the canvas at its current position. Returns a stamp_id for later deletion.

Syntax: turtle.stamp()
Parameters: None.

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

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

import turtle

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

t.stamp()           # Leave an impression of the turtle shape
t.forward(100)
t.left(90)
t.stamp()           # Leave another impression
t.forward(100)

window.exitonclick()

The following is the output:

turtle.stamp() function in Python

In the above code, we followed the below steps:

Import the module: import turtle loads Python’s turtle graphics library.
Create the screen: window = turtle.Screen() opens the drawing window.
Create the turtle: t = turtle.Turtle() creates the turtle (the pen) you’ll control.
Stamp the turtle: t.stamp() leaves a copy of the turtle’s current shape at its current position and orientation; the turtle doesn’t move. The stamp uses the turtle’s current color settings.
Move forward: t.forward(100) draws a 100-unit line in the current heading.
Turn left: t.left(90) rotates the turtle 90° counterclockwise without moving.
Stamp again: t.stamp() leaves another imprint at the new location and orientation.
Move forward again: t.forward(100) draws another 100-unit line.
Close on click: window.exitonclick() keeps the window open until you click inside it, then closes.
