create a method getgraphicsmethodvariablecount #29

Closed danlipsa closed 6 years ago

danlipsa commented 6 years ago

In Visualizer.py we have getgraphicsmethodtypes which returns all graphics method types. getgraphicsmethodvariablecount(type) should return how many variables that graphics method type expects.

For instance, this will return 1 for boxfill but 2 for vector and streamlines.

@doutriaux1 Any luck in locating this method in vcs? If you find it we will use a similar name in vcs-js. I looked for it but could not find it.

@scottwittenburg If we cannot find this, we could probably add it to vcs and vcs-js.

@danlipsa I'm still looking. I know it's there. I'm "pretty" sure.

2
