should getPatchSizes() return a dict?

[revoltek]

Compared to getPatchPosition() that returns a dict with {patchname:coord}, getPatchSize() returns an ordered array of sizes. However if one has to use both it becomes complicated as dicts are not ordered.

I forget why getPatchPosition() returns a dict by default, but you can set asArray=True in the call to have it return (RA, Dec) arrays instead (with the same order as getPatchSize()). Not sure if that's helpful in your case, though.

I move everything to dict now with:
sizes = dict(zip(lsm.getPatchNames(), lsm.getPatchSizes(units='degree')))

maybe having all the functions returning the same thing by default is better for consistency, then an option like dict=True or array=True would be great
