Make new get_anatomical_layouts() function

[wingedRuslan]

Hi there,

to partially address issue #148, I would like to re-implement get_anatomical_layouts function.

input - BrainNetwork Graph that has x, y, z coordinates and integer node labels (0 to n-1) for n nodes
output - return three dictionaries containing appropriate pairs of coordinates for sagittal, coronal and axial slices

This is quite different from anatomical_layout - This function extracts the required coordinates of a node based on the given anatomical layout.

The already-existed function get_anatomical_layouts() in scona/make_figures.py does not work at all, so I will create a new one!

I do not think that this function best fits into visualisation_helpers file, that's why I am thinking to include the newly-created function to the graph_measures file. At least the coordinates of the nodes have a relation to graph measures, rather than just to visualisation.

What do you think? Is that ok?

Hi @wingedRuslan! Thanks for thinking about this.

I can't think of a use of get_anatomical_layouts that won't be related to visualisation. The coordinates are definitely part of calculating the distance between the regions but that will always use the x, y, z coordinates together. The only use for getting these pairs of coordinates (x, y), (x, z), (y, z) etc is to project the 3D brain onto a 2D plane....for visualisation! So my vote would be to put it in visualisation_helpers. What do you think?
