Hello, I have a question please.
First of all, I am getting old, at 74, but not out of the game yet. I am also legally, but not totally, blind.
I am a bit like a guy with a brown belt in Karate; I know just enough about computers to get my butt kicked. I am using a Mac desktop computer currently that the hospital gave me about 3 years ago. I really like it. It is a bit easier for me to use rather than a Windows unit, mostly because of my limited vision. But I do access To a Windows 10 machined if needed
I started using “Turtle Graphics” and was able to do a bit of good making shapes and doodles.
Here is my question, basic as it was seem: I have made a couple of things in the Turtle Graphics, using the .py suffix.
It seem to me that I used to make some of these drawings and be able to PRINT THEM out on a printer. I was out of the game for a few months , while attending the VA Hospital Blind Rehab Unit in Biloxi, Mississippi. When I cam back the Python version had upgraded a number of times and I downloaded the newest version.
I noticed that when I screen printed the Turtle Graphic image, it would appear on another screen, adjacent to my screen.
I tried to print it, using a Printer, or save it as either a jpeg or PNG suffix and it did nothing. I was not able to take a screen shot of it and save it to the clipboard.
If I tried to screen print it, everything would just go away, not to be seen again.
Might you have any suggestions or ideas for an old man that really enjoys the challenge of making some of these images / drawings.
My desire was to basically make a border type layer to put a photo of some of my grand children into and get printed out. No luck on any of those.
I did try Goodle but not much was said about Turtle graphics, on how to start it, initially…...
Thank you very much in advance for any assistance or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Gerald (Jerry) O’Brien
