Just a little demo on how to create simple drawings with PyMuPDF.
This script simulates what you see looking into your coffee mug, early in the morning after a long night of programming ...

This works on all Windows, MacOS and Linux platforms, 32bit / 64bit, where MuPDF can be generated, and any Python version 2.7 and up can run.
In the code, a file "coffee.jpg" is referenced as background. You should easily be able to create such an animal with some utility available on your platform. It can be any size (e.g. 50 x 50 pixels with a color of your liking) and in half a dozen of image file formats (png, jpg, bmp, ...). If you prefer white background, omit the statement. You may want to adjust the color tuple to something else than yellow then.
Of course, you can also give each line a different color - maybe derive it somehow from the index i.
Have a look at the GitHub repository of PyMuPDF, https://github.com/rk700/PyMuPDF. In the demo directory youwill find an updated version of this script,which no longer relies on external picture files to generate the coffee background.
