The lo/hi values for block or cylinder or prism styles can be -specified as INF which means they extend all the way to the global -simulation box boundary. If a region is defined before the simulation -box has been created (via create_box or -read_data or read_restart -commands), then an INF parameter cannot be used. +specified as EDGE or INF. EDGE means they extend all the way to the +global simulation box boundary. Note that this is the current box +boundary; if the box changes size during a simlation the region does +not. INF means a large negative or positive number (1.0e20), so it +should encompass the simulation box even if it changes size. If a +region is defined before the simulation box has been created (via +create_box or read_data or +read_restart commands), then an EDGE or INF +parameter cannot be used.
For style cylinder, the c1,c2 params are coordinates in the 2 other dimensions besides the cylinder axis dimension.
