Here is what our script is doing. It looks to me like we are analyzing
the tpr when we should be checking the xtc or trr if I understand you
correctly. And if we look at the trajectory we can measure the drift
for the entire simulation rather than a specific instance.

The .tpr file is required input for g_dist, but the frame(s) actually analyzed are in the generic trajectory file passed to the -f flag. Both the .tpr and trajectory are required input. This trajectory can be .xtc, .trr, .gro, .pdb, or a few others. The program uses information about the atoms in the .tpr file to carry out the analysis on the trajectory. As you've shown, you pass "md.gro" to g_dist, so you will only ever have that .gro file's information. While it is possible to write the entire trajectory in .gro format, this is very inconvenient, since the file size gets large in a hurry, so I assume your "md.gro" is just a single frame, so you're getting exactly what you should expect. If you want distances over time, pass a .xtc or .trr to the -f option of g_dist.

How come time is always  0.0000000

You're analyzing a .gro file, so there is no time information stored.  If
you analyze a trajectory (i.e., .xtc or .trr), then the time is saved in the
individual frames.

Hello,

I am seeking clarification on what this output means. I believe it
says that the x axis is divided into 4 time intervals and they are
plotted against a y axis that measures total distance along all 3
dimensional coordinates.
Am I reading this correctly?

There should be no decomposition of time intervals here.  Distance is
plotted continuously as a function of time.  The first column is time,
then
the total distance, then each of the x, y, and z components of that
distance.
