hideturtle --Command, no inputs. Abbreviation: ht This command applies only to the display turtle. It erases the display of the turtle itself from the screen, so that only the lines drawn when the turtle moves are visible. The display is faster when the turtle is hidden (only slightly faster on the Atari, but much faster on other terminals). Also, once a graphics program is debugged, it may be prettier to watch without the turtle visible. (Note: On the Tektronix display, the turtle is never visible, because the terminal cannot erase selectively.)
