Region File (wxp.reg)

WXP uses a default region file called "wxp.reg". In this file, there is a list of all regions that can be used in WXP and their appropriate plot_domain specifications. Often, the default set of regions does not satisfy the users needs so new regions can be added to this file if needed.

FORMAT

The syntax of this file is similar to the variable and menu files:

   abbr    name      toggle    plot_domain

Where:

This file also controls which regions will show up in the region menu for appropriate WXP programs. Also, dashes can be placed in each value to delimit a separator. This is useful for organizing items in the region menu.
