How To Rotate Text In Python's Turtle Graphics

I want to make diagrams with python's turtle (teaching purposes). The label 'values' for the y-axis should be rotated. Python's turtle has a method to write a string at current pos

Solution 1:

It's not possible to write rotated text with turtle. See http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/python/bugs/879806:

Turtle is built on top of Tk, which is currently at version 8.5 - this has no ability to rotate text. When Tk version 8.6 arrives it should be able to write rotated text (see http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2010-November/002490.html) and turtle.py could be updated to take advantage of it.

Solution 2:

You CAN rotate text, but only in 8.6. Type:

pyturtle.rotate([Degrees of rotation])

Then you can do your text command. Hope this helped!
