+== Defining a new region to work on ==
+
+In the ipp/trunk/tools directory is a script `LAP_regiontool.pl`.  This takes the boundaries of the region to be defined, and produces a list of `laptool -definerun` commands that can be used as a queuelist file to ensure new runs are automatically launched as old ones complete (defined in pantasks using `lap.define.queue /path/to/queuelist.file`).  The RA is assumed to be in hours unless the `--degrees` option is passed.  The commands to generate the current list of regions are listed below:
+
+{{{
+ alias LAP_RT 'LAP_regiontool.pl --seq_id 8 --label LAP.ThreePi.20110809 --dist_group LAP.ThreePi --tess_id RINGS.V3 --radius 5 --dbname gpc1'
+ LAP_RT --ra_min 21 --ra_max 22 --dec_min -30 --dec_max 10 > region_A.queue
+ LAP_RT --ra_min 23 --ra_max 24 --dec_min -10 --dec_max 10 > region_B.queue
+ LAP_RT --ra_min 20 --ra_max 21 --dec_min -30 --dec_max -20 > region_C.queue
+ LAP_RT --ra_min 22 --ra_max 23 --dec_min -10 --dec_max 10 > region_D.queue
+ LAP_RT --ra_min 23 --ra_max 24 --dec_min 30 --dec_max 50 > region_E.queue
+ LAP_RT --ra_min 21 --ra_max 23 --dec_min 30 --dec_max 40 > region_F.queue
+ LAP_RT --ra_min 21 --ra_max 22 --dec_min 10 --dec_max 30 > region_G.queue
+ LAP_RT --ra_min 18 --ra_max 22 --dec_min 70 --dec_max 90 > region_H.queue
+}}}
+
+Caveat: this script blocks the region into bands in declination, to allow regions of five filter coverage to be generated quickly.  Because of this, it cycles through the filters in a different way for each block, as it selects the last filter of the previous block as the first filter of the current block.
