You can draw many different types of shapes using generativepy, via the geometry module.

Here are the main features of generativepy drawing support:

Lines and polygons.
Circles and ellipses.
Bezier curves.
Text.
Composite shapes made up of multiple simple shapes.

Other features of the module are:

Filling and stroking.
- Stroke styles.
- Fill styles.
Placing images.
Abstract path objects.
Geometric markers (angles, parallel lines etc)
Simple turtle graphics.

There are more options for filling and stroking shapes (for example, using a gradient) in the Patterns section.
