Martin, If I understand your question correctly ... there is no easy way to accomplish it. Regarding the 'box' ... you can try the script command 'set boundbox on'. That will draw a box around your molecule using the minimum and maximum coordinates on each of the x,y,z axes. 'set boundbox -1' will draw the box as dotted lines. 'set boundbox .25' will make it .25 angstroms. 'color boundbox orange' will set the color. However, you said 'grid like structure', so I assume that this 'boundbox' is not what you are looking for. And you want to control the color in a different way. The only thing that occurs to me is to make it out of atoms. Add additional atoms to your file. Realistically, in order to do this you would need to write a program to generate them. Choose atoms with high element numbers. Place them far enough apart that they do not bond. Make each element number a different color. Maybe someone else will have another idea.
