Regions - [EBPEdit Help Contents]

You can assign a Region to each milepost as a convenient way to form groupings. Regions are useful to limit the geographical scope of certain events, such as a rail strike in a certain country. By assigning a Region to a milepost, EBP will be able to know which mileposts (and therefore which trains and track) are involved in such events. If your map does not have events that impact groups of mileposts, and does not have Pilgrims, there is no need to assign Regions.

Regions are single letter codes. For example, you might use C to represent Canada.

ASSIGNING REGION

To assign a Region to one milepost, point to it and press Ctrl+letter, where letter is any letter from A to Z. To quickly assign many mileposts the same Region, select a rectangular area of the map (point to one corner of the area, click and hold down the left mouse button, drag the mouse to the opposite corner, and release the button), and press Ctrl+letter.

SHOWING REGION

To verify you have properly assigned regions, click on "Show regions" in the list left of the map.

CLEARING REGION

To clear a Region assignment, point or select as described in Assigning Region and press Ctrl+spacebar.

REGION NAMES

To associate a name with a Region (such as region letter C=Canada), use the Edit, Region names pull-down menu. In the window that appears, Region letters in use will be listed; if no Regions are listed is it because you have not yet assigned any milepost to a Region as described earlier in this topic. To change or create a Region name, double click on it in the list.
