I would like to start using POV-ray to render images of configurations from
my molecular simulations. I have been using VMD to do this, but I havent
been able to draw my simulation box around my atoms using VMD. Is there an
easy way to do this using POV-ray? I have the configuration in xyz format
Thanks in advance

Do you mean draw a box?

Yes..draw a cube around 256 atoms (sphere). I have never used POV-ray
before..Sorry, if this sounds very trivial.

box {

texture { pigment { White } }
}
... will draw a white coloured box around co-ords -1,-1,-1 and 1,1,1
Change the co-ords to fit the area you want.
use "rgbt <1,1,1,.8>" instead of "White" to make the box partially
transparent

A start is to put all of those atoms in an union. Then, you can use
min_extent and max_extent to get the corners of the box that is to
contain your atoms.
Something like:
#declare Molecule = union{... put your atoms here ...}
union{
box{min_extent{Molecule},max_extent{Molecule} pigment{rgbf<1,1,1,0.8>}}
object{Molecule}//not using pigment here: Assuming that your atoms
are colour coded, blue=nitrogen, red=oxigen, black=carbon, white=hydrogen...
}
This have the advantage that the box is aotomaticaly sized to your
molecule, and will follow if you change your data.
