Get the Picture

In this lab you will be learning how to extend the capabilities of Python by using modules. You’ll be using these modules to approximate the value of Pi and draw fancy pictures.

Goals

Practice importing and using Python modules
Practice using loops to generate images
Become familiar with the methods from the math and random modules
