Suppose one has a Mathematica Graphics expression called g. And suppose
further that one has a list of graphics primitives called p. And one has
a boolean test function t. I want to transform the graphics expression g
in the following way. Each time I encounter a primitive q in g that
satisfies the boolean test function t I want to replace that primitive q
with {q,First[p]} and to then delete the first element of p. If the
primitive q does not satisfy t, then I want to leave q alone. A
practical application of this concept might be to ascribe different
colors to some points scattered through a graphics expression.
Any ideas how to do this with a modicum of elegance?
