I wonder if it is possible to write text in any direction when we control the heading of the turtle? For example, the following code would write a vertically oriented text:

Yingjie:

This sounds like a good idea. To request a feature you should create an
account (if you do not already have one) on bugs.python.org and create a
new issue (assuming a search reveals that there is not already such an
issue).

You may find if you look at the module's code that you can imagine how
to  make the change. If not, the request will wait until some maintainer
sees it and has time.
