Python: Drawing Perspective

Python: Drawing Perspective

The goal: draw lines towards the center (0,0), creating the perspective of looking directly towards a point in the distance.

The script asks for two inputs:

h: the height of the wall

n: the number of lines drawn (half of the wall)

Best results are achieved when n divides in h evenly.

Python: Using Turtle (Numworks)

(h = 100, n = 5)

Code:

from math import *

from turtle import *

# inputs

h=eval(input("height? "))

n=int(input("# of steps? "))

speed(7)

# loop

for i in range(-n,n+1):

  penup()

  y=i*h/n

  goto(-160,y)

  pendown()

  goto(160,-y)

hideturtle()

Python: Using TI-Draw (TI-84 Evo)

(h = 100, n = 5)

Code:

# Math Calculations

from math import *

from ti_draw import *

# 2026-07-20 EWS

# perspective drawing

# inputs

h=eval(input("height? "))

n=int(input("# of steps? "))

# set up screen

clear()

set_window(-160,160,-105,105)

# loop

for i in range(-n,n+1):

  y=i*h/n

  draw_line(-160,y,160,-y)

# show drawing

show_draw()

Enjoy and have a great day,
