Command: topology::CreateLayer

NEST HelpDesk Command Index NEST Quick Reference

Name:
 topology::CreateLayer - create a spatial layer of nodes

Synopsis:
    dict CreateLayer -> layer

Parameters:
    dict - dictionary with layer specification

Description:
 The Topology module organizes neuronal networks in
    layers. A layer is a special type of subnet which contains information
    about the spatial position of its nodes. There are three classes of
    layers: grid-based layers, in which each element is placed at a
    location in a regular grid; free layers, in which elements can be
    placed arbitrarily in space; and random layers, where the elements are
    distributed randomly throughout a region in space.  Which kind of layer
    this command creates depends on the elements in the supplied
    specification dictionary.
