Incoherence between figure args and figure props

[Stéphane Mottelet]

Hi all,

I am currently working on the plotlib, and I discovered that one of the 
incompatibilities of the plotlib with scilab native graphics is due to 
an incoherence (?) between the figure macro and the actual figure handle 
properties : figure handles have a "background" property (color index in 
the cmap) but the figure macro also accepts the argument 
"backgroundcolor" ( a rgb triple), which is not a figure handle 
property.  These two "layers" of properties are not very convenient... 
Are there plan to simplify this in the future ?
