Introduction

Welcome to Spirograph Drawing! This Python script allows you to create vibrant and mesmerizing spirograph drawings using the Turtle module. Get ready to unleash your creativity with a few lines of code!

Prerequisites

Before you dive into the world of spirographs, make sure you have Python installed on your machine. If not, you can download it here.

Installation

No additional modules are required for this script. Just make sure you have Python installed.

Running the Script

Open the script in your favorite Python environment.
Run the script. This will launch the Turtle graphics window.

Understanding the Code

Let's break down the provided Python code for the Spirograph Drawing script:

import turtle as t
import random

myrtle = t.Turtle()
t.colormode(255)

def random_color():
    r = random.randint(0, 255)
    g = random.randint(0, 255)
    b = random.randint(0, 255)
    color = (r, g, b)
    return color

def draw_spirograph(size_of_gap):
    for _ in range(int(360 / size_of_gap)):
        myrtle.color(random_color())
        myrtle.circle(100)
        myrtle.setheading(myrtle.heading() + size_of_gap)

draw_spirograph(5)

Code Explanation:

Importing Libraries:
```
import turtle as t
import random
```
- turtle is a module in Python that provides a way to create simple graphics.
- random is a module that provides functions for generating random numbers.
Creating a Turtle:
```
myrtle = t.Turtle()
t.colormode(255)
```
- myrtle is an instance of the Turtle class, which is used for drawing.
- t.colormode(255) sets the color mode to use RGB values ranging from 0 to 255.

Generating Random Colors:

def random_color():
    r = random.randint(0, 255)
    g = random.randint(0, 255)
    b = random.randint(0, 255)
    color = (r, g, b)
    return color

The random_color function generates a random RGB color and returns it as a tuple.

Drawing Spirograph:
```
def draw_spirograph(size_of_gap):
    for _ in range(int(360 / size_of_gap)):
        myrtle.color(random_color())
        myrtle.circle(100)
        myrtle.setheading(myrtle.heading() + size_of_gap)
```
- The draw_spirograph function uses a loop to draw circles in a spirograph pattern.
- myrtle.color(random_color()) sets the turtle's color to a random color.
- myrtle.circle(100) draws a circle with a radius of 100 units.
- myrtle.setheading(myrtle.heading() + size_of_gap) changes the heading of the turtle, creating the spirograph effect.
Executing the Drawing:
```
draw_spirograph(5)
```
- This line calls the draw_spirograph function with a size_of_gap of 5, determining the gap between each circle in the spirograph.

The script, when executed, will create a visually appealing spirograph drawing with randomized colors. Adjusting the parameters can lead to various spirograph patterns.

Customizing Your Spirograph

Feel free to experiment with the script! Adjust the size_of_gap parameter in the draw_spirograph function to change the gap between each circle in the spirograph. You can also modify colors, circle radii, and other parameters to create various spirograph patterns.
