SETBOX(1)                 TIPSY COMMANDS                SETBOX(1)

NAME

       setbox - make and load a box from the command line

SYNOPSIS

       setbox box xcenter ycenter zcenter xradius yradius zradius

DESCRIPTION

       setbox 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
       centered on (xcenter, ycenter, zcenter).  It extends  xra-
       dius  in  the +-x direction, yradius in the +-y direction,
       and zradius in the +-z direction.

       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 setsphere commands.  Box  0  can  also  be
       made  and  loaded  using the loadall command. Boxes can be
       plotted using the showboxes command.
