SETSPHERE(1)              TIPSY COMMANDS             SETSPHERE(1)

NAME

       setsphere  - make and load a spherical "box" from the com-
       mand line

SYNOPSIS

       setsphere box xcenter ycenter zcenter radius

DESCRIPTION

       setsphere is used to define the boundaries of box  through
       the command line.  The requested box must be between 1 and
       MAXBOX or an error will be generated.  The value of MAXBOX
       can  be  found by using the version command.  The box is a
       sphere of radius radius centered on the coordinates (xcen-
       ter, ycenter, zcenter).

       Once  a  box  is made and loaded it still isn't the active
       box for plotting until the activatebox  command  is  used.
       Boxes are removed using the unload command.

       Boxes with numbers greater than box 0 cannot be made until
       box 0 is loaded.  Boxes can also be made and loaded  using
       the  makebox  and setbox commands.  Box 0 can also be made
       and loaded using the loadall command.

       unload(1), version(1)

BUGS

       The  volume  of  the box is not done correctly in commands
       such as boxstat and the box is not plotted correctly  when
       showboxes is yes if the box is spherical.
