How to draw random shapes in python?

python, shapes

Solution

Being unsure of what you are trying to accomplish, the following code is a simple example of how to generate random shapes and display them in a window. It create a `tkinter` root object, sets up a `Canvas` for display, and randomly creates and shows polygons for each second the program is run.

from tkinter import *
from random import *

class Application(Canvas):

    X_OFFSET = 40
    Y_OFFSET = 40
    FILL = 'blue'
    LINE = 'black'

    @classmethod
    def main(cls):
        root = Tk()
        surface = cls(root)
        surface.grid()
        surface.after_idle(surface.draw_shape)
        root.mainloop()

    def draw_shape(self):
        x = randrange(int(self['width']) - self.X_OFFSET)
        y = randrange(int(self['height']) - self.Y_OFFSET)
        points = [(x + randrange(self.X_OFFSET), y + randrange(self.Y_OFFSET))
                  for point in range(randint(3, 10))]
        self.create_polygon(points, fill=self.FILL, outline=self.LINE)
        self.after(1000, self.draw_shape)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    Application.main()

Problem

I want to draw random shapes in random colors in an image using python. Is there any module which exists in python to draw random shapes like polygons of different sizes and shapes and mixed together to form a new shape etc Thanks a lot
