If I have a "normal" source image, how do I use python to change it into a new image composed of just colored polygons and/or triangles? Can the PIL do this? Thanks!

Answer copied from a reddit post:
This is actually a pretty hard computer science problem, and you may be better off using existing software tools rather than writing your own. However, it may be a fun learning project. What you want to google is "algorithm convert bitmap to vector". Your "normal image" is a bitmap image: a grid of colored pixels. And you want to convert it to a list of colored shapes, which is called a vector image.
