With the module pygame.draw shapes like rectangles, circles, polygons, liens, ellipses or arcs can be drawn. Some examples:
pygame.draw.rect draws filled rectangular shapes or outlines. The arguments are the target Surface (i.s. the display), the color, the rectangle and the optional outline width. The rectangle argument is a tuple with the 4 components (x, y, width, height), where (x, y) is the upper left point of the rectangle. Alternatively, the argument can be a pygame.Rect object:
pygame.draw.rect(window, color, (x, y, width, height))
rectangle = pygame.Rect(x, y, width, height)
pygame.draw.rect(window, color, rectangle)
pygame.draw.circle draws filled circles or outlines. The arguments are the target Surface (i.s. the display), the color, the center, the radius and the optional outline width. The center argument is a tuple with the 2 components (x, y):
pygame.draw.circle(window, color, (x, y), radius)
pygame.draw.polygon draws filled polygons or contours. The arguments are the target Surface (i.s. the display), the color, a list of points and the optional contour width. Each point is a tuple with the 2 components (x, y):
pygame.draw.polygon(window, color, [(x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3)])
Minimal example:
import pygame
pygame.init()
window = pygame.display.set_mode((200, 200))
clock = pygame.time.Clock()
run = True
while run:
clock.tick(60)
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
run = False
window.fill((255, 255, 255))
pygame.draw.rect(window, (0, 0, 255), (20, 20, 160, 160))
pygame.draw.circle(window, (255, 0, 0), (100, 100), 80)
pygame.draw.polygon(window, (255, 255, 0),
[(100, 20), (100 + 0.8660 * 80, 140), (100 - 0.8660 * 80, 140)])
pygame.display.flip()
pygame.quit()
exit()
