penup --Command, no inputs. Abbreviation: pu This command tells the turtle to raise its pen from the paper, so that it does not leave a trace when it moves. In the case of the display turtle, there is no physical pen to move mechanically, but the effect is the same: any forward or back commands after this point do not draw a line. The floor turtle starts with its pen up; the display turtle starts with its pen down. Note: the floor turtle will not move on the carpet correctly with its pen down; put it on a smooth surface if you want to draw pictures.
