	<P><B>Description:</B>
	</P>
	<P>This command creates a simulation box that encloses the specified
	region. Thus a <A HREF = "region.html">region</A> command must first be used to
	define a geometric domain. If the region is not of style <I>block</I>,
	LAMMPS encloses it with a rectangular simulation box.
	</P>
	<P>The argument N is the number of atom types that will be used in the
	simulation.
	</P>
	<P><B>Restrictions:</B>
	</P>
	<P>An <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style</A> and <A HREF = "region.html">region</A> must have
	been previously defined to use this command.
