Sine Wave¶
We can also use turtle graphics to do math function plots.
Here is an example of plotting a sine function with turtle goto() functions. We calculate the new vertical value with the following function:
y = math.sin(math.radians(x))
dan.goto(x, y * 80)
And we loop through about 400 values from -200 to 200. We use the radians() function to convert the numbers into a a number that will give us a single sine in the X range.
import turtle
dan = turtle.Turtle()
dan.shape('turtle')
# needed for the sin function
import math
dan.penup()
dan.goto(-200, 28)
dan.color('blue')
dan.pensize(3)
dan.pendown()
for x in range(-200, 200):
y = math.sin(math.radians(x))
dan.goto(x, y * 80)
Here is the output of this function:
