        -----
            This function can be accessed by:

        Parameters
        ----------
        name
            A String specifying the name of the ConstrainedSketch object. No two parameters
            in the same ConstrainedSketch can have the same name. 
        path
            A String specifying the ConstrainedSketchDimension object with which this parameter is 
            associated. 
        expression
            A String specifying the expression or value associated with the 
            ConstrainedSketch.
        previous
            A String specifying the name of the previous ConstrainedSketch, if it exists.
            The *previous* argument implies an order among the parameters. No two
            parameters can reference the same parameter as the previous parameter. 

        Returns
        -------
        sketch: ConstrainedSketch
            A ConstrainedSketch object.
