I am trying to integrate the Turtle module into an interface I have created with TKInter, currently I have a canvas where I would like for the turtle to draw to (see example 1). However I am lost in how to get the draw to it.

Example

Answer

Try this:

import turtle
import tkinter as tk

def forward():
    t.forward(100)

def back():
    t.back(100)

def left():
    t.left(90)

def right():
    t.right(90)

root = tk.Tk()
canvas = tk.Canvas(master = root, width = 500, height = 500)
canvas.pack()

t = turtle.RawTurtle(canvas)
t.pencolor("#ff0000") # Red

t.penup()   # Regarding one of the comments
t.pendown() # Regarding one of the comments

tk.Button(master = root, text = "Forward", command = forward).pack(side = tk.LEFT)
tk.Button(master = root, text = "Back", command = back).pack(side = tk.LEFT)
tk.Button(master = root, text = "Left", command = left).pack(side = tk.LEFT)
tk.Button(master = root, text = "Right", command = right).pack(side = tk.LEFT)

root.mainloop()

I have never used this module before but what I have written seems to do what you want.
