UnionDict
– a dict with set like operations and keys as attributes¶
This object combines the key-element storage of a dict
with the union operation of a set()
object. It is used in the cogent3.draw
module, primarily for the figure
and layout
attributes.
Accessing elements of a UnionDict

Keys in a UnionDict
can be accessed like attributes
Updating a UnionDict
¶
If you use the |
bitwise operator to compare two dicts and the left one is a UnionDict
, a union operation is performed.
This can also be done using the union
method.
Accessing a non-existent UnionDict
key¶
But if accessing as an attribute, you get an attribute error.
