random-shapes

Generate random shapes with ease.

This library is heavily inspired by this stackoverflow answer

Installation

You can install random-shapes via pip:

    pip install random-shapes

However, uv is recommended for installing python packages:

    uv add random-shapes

Usage

Install the optional library matplotlib for visualization:

    pip install random-shapes[viz]
    # or
    uv add random-shapes --extra viz

With random-shapes it is easy to generate a random shape (bezier.CurvedPolygon):

    from random_shapes import Shape

    shp = Shape.random(n=10, r=0.05, edgy=0.2)
    # Shape.curve is a bezier.CurvedPolygon, since Shape is a just wrapper
    shp.curve.plot(pts_per_edge=10)

This shape can then be turned into a binary image:

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    binary_image = shp.rasterize(h=512, w=512)
    plt.imshow(binary_image, cmap="gray")
