Nssa

Nssa means "a type of hand woven fabric". It is the symbol of symbol of excellence, genuineness, authenticity.

We will use the 5 pixel grid to trace out this image. The image of this is shown below:

This symbol is simple to draw. It consists of lines.

The plan to draw this symbol is given below:

1. Lift up the pen
2. Set the pen size to 20 pixels
3. Set the heading of the pen to 0 degrees
4. Move the pen back by 70 pixels
5. Place the pen down
6. Move forward by 140 pixels
7. Move the pen back to the home position
8. Set the heading of the pen to 90 degrees
9. Move the pen back by 60 pixels
10. Move forward by 120 pixels
11. Set the heading of the pen to 180 degrees
12. Move forward by 60 pixels
13. Set the heading to 90 degrees
14. Move forward by 90 pixels
15. Set the heading of the pen to 180 degrees
16. Move forward by 120 pixels
17. Set the heading of the pen to 270 degrees
18. Move forward by 120 pixels
19. Set the heading of the pen to 0 degrees
20. Move forward by 100 pixels
21. Set the heading of the pen to 270 degrees
22. Move forward by 60 pixels
23. Set the heading of the pen to 180 degrees
24. Move forward by 100 pixels
25. Set the heading of the pen to 270 degrees
26. Move forward by 120 pixels
27. Set the heading of the pen to 0 degrees
28. Move forward by 120 pixels
29. Set the heading of the pen to 90 degrees
30. Move forward by 90 pixels
31. Set the heading of the pen to 0 degrees
32. Move forward by 120 pixels
33. Set the heading of the pen to 270 degrees
34. Move forward by 90 pixels
35. Set the heading of the pen to 0 degrees
36. Move forward by 120 pixels
37. Set the heading of the pen to 90 degrees
38. Move forward by 120 pixels
39. Set the heading of the pen to 180 degrees
40. Move forward by 100 pixels
41. Set the heading of the pen to 90 degrees
42. Move forward by 60 pixels
43. Set the heading of the pen to 0 degrees
44. Move forward by 100 pixels
45. Set the heading of the pen to 90 degrees
46. Move forward by 120 pixels
47. Set the heading of the pen to 180 degrees

Using Turtle Graphics

We will use the template.py file and rename it to nssa.py.

The code for steps 1 to 10 is given below:

turtle.penup()

turtle.pensize(20)

turtle.setheading(0)

turtle.backward(70)

turtle.pendown()

turtle.forward(140)

turtle.home()

turtle.setheading(90)

turtle.backward(60)

turtle.forward(120)

The image generated is given below:

The code for steps 11 to 22 draws the outline of the shape for the upper left quadrant and extends to the lower left quadrant. The code for the steps is:

turtle.setheading(180)
turtle.forward(60)
turtle.setheading(90)
turtle.forward(90)
turtle.setheading(180)
turtle.forward(120)
turtle.setheading(270)
turtle.forward(120)
turtle.setheading(0)
turtle.forward(100)
turtle.setheading(270)
turtle.forward(60)

The generated image is shown below:

The remaining steps are just a repetition of the steps we have executed so far. The code for steps 23 to 32 gives us the image shown below:

Steps 33 to 42. draw the 3rd square. The code for this steps is given below:

turtle.setheading(270)
turtle.forward(90)
turtle.setheading(0)
turtle.forward(120)
turtle.setheading(90)
turtle.forward(120)
turtle.setheading(180)
turtle.forward(100)
turtle.setheading(90)
turtle.forward(60)

The generated image is shown below:

The code to complete the symbol is given below:

turtle.setheading(0)
turtle.forward(100)
turtle.setheading(90)
turtle.forward(120)
turtle.setheading(180)
turtle.forward(120)
turtle.setheading(270)
turtle.forward(90)
turtle.setheading(180)
turtle.forward(60)

The final symbol is given below:

Conclusion

Nssa is one of the easier symbols to draw although the steps are involved. Its kind of fun to see the turtle go about drawing this shape.
