Overview
grid_mode partitions the screen into a grid and displays each molecule in one grid location. Each molecule rotates, zooms, etc in that grid. A possibly very useful option for PyMOL.
Hint: When using grid_mode with many molecules, it's sometimes good to align their centers of mass. This puts them all squarely in the middle of their grid element. The alignto command from cealign can do this for you.
Syntax
# turn on grid mode
set grid_mode,1
# turn off grid mode
set grid_mode,0
Example
grid_mode off. Four molecules shown loaded and aligned.
grid_mode on. Each molecule is in its own window.
grid_mode on. Lots of molecules shown.
