A uniform grid should to work fine even for PBC, though the algorithm
for PBC requires doing wraparound on the grid cells. This is the strategy
I plan to implement for adding PBC handling in some of the internal VMD
routines for things like the "within" selection and so on.
Let me know if you need help with this.
Cheers,
John Stone
