Mondrian Image Generator

I saw a web page Mondrianizer in the functional language F#. This offended me on aesthetic grounds, in that a functional program should not generate "random" images. Additionally, only Windows users can make any further use of that Mondrianizer. That offended me on ideological grounds.

Acting on my aesthetic sensibilities, I churned out a Mondrian-like picture generator using a dodgy, open source, imperative language, PHP. The very sketchiness that PHP is famous for can be used to great effect in generating "surprising" images. Now you too, can have Art, and generate Art, if you have a PHP-enabled website.

Try it here!

This is another entry in the long line of programs to generate Mondrian-like artwork.

Installation

Put the files automondrian.php and mond.php in your PHP-enabled website, probably in the same directory. Call automondrian.php in your browser. Boom! Mondrian-like images at your disposal.
