Description
We need to refactor the function picture_creation in the file mutations.py to improve its readability and maintainability. The function currently handles multiple responsibilities, which makes it harder to understand and modify. The goal is to break the function into smaller, more manageable parts, each responsible for a single task.
The refactored code should keep the same behavior as the original function and should not introduce any new bugs or change its output. The main objective is to improve the clarity of the function and make it easier for developers to work with in the future.
The refactor should involve:
- Breaking down the large function into smaller, self-contained helper functions that each perform a single task.
- Renaming variables and functions to use more descriptive and meaningful names that clearly indicate their purpose.
- Simplifying any complex logic or conditionals, while ensuring that the function remains efficient.
- Removing any unnecessary code, comments, or duplication.
- The function’s overall behavior should remain unchanged after the refactor, but the code should now be easier to read, understand, and extend in the future.
Write tests to ensure that the refactored function performs the same as the original. There should be no impact on existing tests, and if you are to add a test to an existing file, please do so at the end of the file.
