I published the following open-source software packages:
Generative Art
The R package generativeart let’s you create images based on many thousand points. The position of every single point is calculated by a formula, which has random parameters. Because of the random numbers, every image looks different.

Destatis Cleaner
Update May 2020: This package is no longer needed. The Federal Statistical Office of Germany, Destatis, listened to it’s users: You can now download data as a flat file csv or use an API.

You can find Destatis Cleaner on apps.katharinabrunner.de/destatiscleaner/
If you are an R user, you can work with the destatiscleanr package. You can find the code and instructions on Github
