Description:

    Parameters are spatial functions which are used when

      a probability kernel when creating connections or as synaptic
      parameters (such as weight and delay). This command creates a parameter
      object which may be combined with other parameter objects using
      arithmetic operators. The parameter is specified in a dictionary.

Parameters:

      /type	- parameter type
      dict 	- dictionary with parameter specifications
