"""      turtle-example-suite:

        tdemo_bytedesign.py

An example adapted from the example-suite
of PythonCard's turtle graphcis.

It's based on an article in BYTE magazine
Problem Solving with Logo: Using Turtle
Graphics to Redraw a Design
November 1982, p. 118 - 134

-------------------------------------------

Due to the statement

t.delay(0)

in line 152, which sets the animation delay
to 0, this animation runs in "line per line"
mode as fast as possible.
