For the most part, this is what you want: https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html#turtle.pen It doesn't seem to include the fullcircle state (which is what .degrees() and .radians() set), and I'm not sure why. Worst case, it is technically available as the ._fullcircle member, but I would advise against using that if you can help it! ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
