turtle_do {TurtleGraphics}

Evaluate a Larger Portion of Turtle Drawing Code

Description

turtle_do evaluates an R expression with the Turtle temporarily hidden (for performance reasons).

Usage

turtle_do(expr)

Arguments

expr

expression to evaluate

Details

The terrarium must be initialized prior to using these functions, see turtle_init.

In order to decrease the evaluation time of expr, it is evaluated with Turtle temporarily hidden. Basically it means that if a Turtle image is visible (see turtle_show and turtle_hide) turtle_do removes it, evaluates expr and redraws it on the function exit.
