What is paint by numbers?

Paint by numbers is a way of reproducing a picture by splitting it into flat regions, numbering each region, and pairing every number with one color from a fixed palette. Paint each region in its numbered color and the picture comes back together.

A paint-by-numbers generator does the splitting for you. It reduces a photo to a small palette, groups neighboring pixels of the same palette color into regions, traces the outlines of those regions, and places the color number inside each one.
