### The Box

The Box is defined by the position of its corner in Physical Coordinates in the Plot Page by command `SET BOX_LOCATION Xmin Xmax Ymin Ymax`
The default Box for the default Plot Page can be accessed by typing `SET BOX LANDSCAPE` or `SET BOX PORTRAIT` as required. This default box is however usually inadequate for maps, where the User Coordinates in X and Y may be related. The box must of course stay within the limits of the PLOT_PAGE, so that attempts to define a PORTRAIT page in a LANDSCAPE page (or vice versa) will fail: an apropriate SET PLOT_PAGE should have been issued before the SET BOX command.
