XArt

Phase 1 – Pixel analysis and selection

Create a Python script that loads an image, counts pixel frequencies, and selects the top X most frequent colors based on command-line input.

• Load image from command line
• Count frequency of each pixel color
• Select top X colors
• Display selected colors or store for later use

Functional result: Script identifies and outputs the X most frequent pixel colors from the given image.

Phase 2 – Random artwork generation

Use the selected top X colors to generate a new image with random lines, shapes, and zones.

• Create a blank canvas
• Draw random lines, shapes, and areas using only the selected colors
• Save the generated image
• Ensure visual randomness while restricted to top X colors

Functional result: Script produces a new random artwork image using only the top X colors from the original photo.
