Help on SpatialFamilyPopulation [class]:
 This class associates a family ID and a location in 3D space with each simulation object in the population 
 
Extends the basic population concept by associating a \b location \b in \b 3D \b space 
(double triples) to each simobject in the population, as well as one integer attribute 
named as \b family \b ID. 
 
For construction, an array of SimObjectFactories is provided where each SimObjectFactory 
defines one family of simulation objects. The SpatialFamilyIDGenerator chooses among the 
factoriesfamilies at each object creation step which is carried out for each location 
in the Point3DSet. 
 
The family ID indicates the index of the SimObjectFactory that was 
used to create the particular object (useful for designating excitatory, 
inhibitory and other families of neurons). 
 
Individual objects and their ID can be accessed by their index (integer or integer tuple) or 
by their location in space. 
 
Also, subpopulations can be created by providing a subspace definitions, and based on family IDs.
