Pythonic way for size/color/layout properties assignation/access

The idea is to be able to assign tuples/lists to these types of properties.

Hi Benjamin,

Nice idea, I should have think of it earlier. I just pushed some changes (see ba94a25) that enables to assign tuples and lists to color / layout / size property. So now, you can write for instance:

graph['viewColor'][n] = [r, g, b]
graph['viewColor'][n] = (r, g, b, a)

graph['viewLayout'][n] = (x, y)
graph['viewLayout'][n] = [x, y, z]

graph['viewSize'][n] = [w, h]
graph['viewSize'][n] = (w, h, d)

Regarding the property access, a Tulip type (aka tlp.Color, tlp.Coord and tlp.Size) will still be returned. Nevertheless, those types are iterable so if you want to get a pure Python list for a property value, you can write:

color = list(viewColor[n])
pos = list(viewLayout[n])
size = list(viewSize[n])

Cheers!

So fast! Thanks!
