Make Mondria(a)n-style artwork with Python and R/ggplot2

Step 1: Create rasters

This is done with the Python scripts make_mondrians.py and mondrian.py. The former calls the latter but enables iterated generation of rasters.

With make_mondrians.py, enter the number of paintings and tiles you want and if you want a random starting point (headstart=1) or start from coordinates (0, 0) (headstart=0 is default). For example:

python3 make_mondrians.py 9 5 5 1

... gives 9 paintings, each as a 5x5 grid, and a random starting point.

Step 2: Read and plot rasters

This is done with the R script make_mondrians.R which makes use of ggplot2 for plotting. Some examples of how to read and plot rasters are found inside the script.

Step 3: Enjoy your artworks!

You can create and plot individual canvases...

... or use patchwork to stitch several of them together!
