SETSHAPE
Syntax SETSHAPE shapename 
(SETSHAPE) 
 
Explanation SETSHAPE redefines the shape of the active turtle(s). Its input is the name of the bitmap shape to assign to the turtle. This shape should be 31 by 31 pixels square and black-and-white. Logo treats all black pixels as shape pixels, while all pixels of colors other than black are ignored. If a bitmap of a different size is used, it is scaled to fit the 31 by 31 pixel turtle shape.

If SETSHAPE is used with no arguments and enclosed in parentheses, the original turtle shape is restored for all active turtle(s).

SETSHAPE automatically look for the specified shape file in the Shapes folder in the Toolbox folder. Otherwise a complete path should be provided to the location of the shape file.

See also SHAPE,  and LOCKSHAPE.

Examples (To set the turtle to the predesigned sailboat shape, enter:)
SETSHAPE "SAILBOAT
