Overview
Can display multiple copies of the unit cell.
See thread on pymol-users mailing list.
Example
run supercell.py
fetch 2x19, async=0
supercell 2,1,1, 2x19, green
supercell 1,1,2, 2x19, orange, name=super2

DESCRIPTION
Draw a supercell, as requested by Nicolas Bock on the pymol-users
mailing list (Subject: [PyMOL] feature request: supercell construction
Date: 04/12/2010 10:12:17 PM (Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:12:17 -0600))
USAGE
supercell a, b, c [, object [, color [, name]]]
ARGUMENTS
a, b, c = integer: repeat cell in x,y,z direction a,b,c times
{default: 1,1,1}
object = string: name of object to take cell definition from
color = string: color of cell {default: blue}
name = string: name of the cgo object to create {default: supercell}
