The symbol REG is used to store a variety of attribute about the symbol. Following a conventionally used entries: UNITS - channel units CLASS - symbol class name (i.e. "Assay") _PJ_ipj - projection blob name _PJ_x - projection coordinate pair _PJ_y _PJ_name - projection GXF-style info _PJ_ellipsoid _PJ_projection _PJ_units _PJ_datum_transform This is a convenient but low-performance way to get/set REG settings. If performance is an issue, and more than one setting is to be Get and or Set, use the REG directly.
