The turtle.write() function writes text at the turtle’s current position. The font, alignment, and other properties can be customized.

Syntax: turtle.write(arg, move=False, align=”left”, font=(“Arial”, 8, “normal”))
Parameters: arg – the object to be written (converted to string); move – if True, the turtle moves to the bottom-right of the text; align – “left”, “center”, or “right”; font – a tuple (fontname, fontsize, fonttype).

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

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

import turtle

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

t.write("Hello, Turtle!", font=("Arial", 16, "normal"))
t.forward(100)
t.write("This is fun!", font=("Arial", 12, "italic"))

window.exitonclick()

The following is the output:

turtle.write() 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 (your pen).
Write first text: t.write(“Hello, Turtle!”, font=(“Arial”, 16, “normal”)) draws the string at the turtle’s current position using Arial, size 16, normal style. The turtle doesn’t move unless you pass move=True; default alignment is left.
Move forward: t.forward(100) moves 100 units, drawing a line if the pen is down (it is by default).
Write second text: t.write(“This is fun!”, font=(“Arial”, 12, “italic”)) writes the new string at the new position with Arial, size 12, italic.
Close on click: window.exitonclick() keeps the window open until you click, then closes.
