A Python program that generates abstract computer art from input images using quadtree subdivision. Each quadrant is filled with an averaged color, and the quadrant with the largest error is recursively split to progressively refine the image.

Use cases

• generate quadtree art from a photo
• create abstract stylized versions of images
• animate the iterative refinement of an image
• produce breadth-first traversal animations of a quadtree
• turn pictures into low-poly style color block art

When to choose

• you want generative/abstract art from images via quadtree subdivision
• you want a simple Python script to experiment with image approximation algorithms
• you want to create animations of the refinement process

When to avoid

• you need general-purpose image editing or photo manipulation
• you need a maintained library with a license for production use
• you need high-performance or GPU-accelerated image processing
