<p>This fix will automatically freeze atoms on the zhi edge of the
system, so that overlaps are avoided when new atoms are appended.</p>
<p>The <em>basis</em> keyword specifies an atom type that will be assigned to
specific basis atoms as they are created. See the
<aclass="reference internal"href="lattice.html"><spanclass="doc">lattice</span></a> command for specifics on how basis atoms are
defined for the unit cell of the lattice. By default, all created
atoms are assigned type = 1 unless this keyword specifies differently.</p>
<p>The <em>size</em> keyword defines the size in z of the chunk of material to
be added.</p>
<p>The <em>random</em> keyword will give the atoms random displacements around
their lattice points to simulate some initial temperature.</p>
<p>The <em>temp</em> keyword will cause a region to be thermostated with a
Langevin thermostat on the zhi boundary. The size of the region is
measured from zhi and is set with the <em>extent</em> argument.</p>
<p>The <em>units</em> keyword determines the meaning of the distance units used
to define a wall position, but only when a numeric constant is used.
A <em>box</em> value selects standard distance units as defined by the
<aclass="reference internal"href="units.html"><spanclass="doc">units</span></a> command, e.g. Angstroms for units = real or metal.
A <em>lattice</em> value means the distance units are in lattice spacings.
The <aclass="reference internal"href="lattice.html"><spanclass="doc">lattice</span></a> command must have been previously used to
define the lattice spacings.</p>
