What is legofy?

It is a simple python function to convert an image into a a lego-like image. It started long ago as part of my Python learning.

Usage

A simple example can be generated by using an array with random values: ```

>>> import numpy
>>> from legofy import legofy
>>> from matplotlib import pyplot
>>>
>>> im = numpy.random.rand(10, 10)
>>> im_lego = legofy(im)
>>> _ = pyplot.imshow(im_lego, interpolation='none', origin='lower')

``` 

But I want to do it with my profile picture, how can I do it?!

```

>>> import scipy
>>> from legofy import legofy
>>> from matplotlib import pyplot
>>> import urllib
>>> import cStringIO
>>>
>>> url = 'http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/Mona_Lisa%2C_by_Leonardo_da_Vinci%2C_from_C2RMF_retouched.jpg/161px-Mona_Lisa%2C_by_Leonardo_da_Vinci%2C_from_C2RMF_retouched.jpg'
>>> im = misc.imread(cStringIO.StringIO(urllib.urlopen(url).read()))
>>> im = misc.imresize(im, (50, 33), interp='nearest')
>>> im = 1-(255-im)/(255)
>>> im_lego = legofy(im)
>>> _ = pyplot.imshow(im_lego, interpolation='none', origin='lower')

```
