Dear Jinyao,
this is quickly becoming a vmd-mailing list question, but I'll give it
one more set of replies. I would appreciate if you would coallate these
into a single how-to and put it on the gromacs wiki once you have
figured out how to do it.

trjconv -princ or -rotate, look at the structure and repeat with new
values of rotate until it is aligned how you want.

Colour labels? Don't know. To change the color:
a) representation volumeslice
b) graphics--> represenations --> change coloring method to "volume"
c) graphics-->colors-> color scales --> change to white/black
d) graphics-->colors-> color scales --> slide the offset and midpoint
until you see the level of detail that you want
e) render this and take it to gimp or photoshop, change the background
to transparent, false color the density that remains, and overlay it on
a white background or perhaps overlay it on an exactly scaled picture of
one representative conformation (you can do this exactly by loading in
the correct structure along with the .cuge file to vmd and changing the
representation to output two separate files at exactly the same
scaling/rotating).

Yes, since this is copied directly from g_spatial -h.

Good. I am happy to note that this has been fixed in gmx 4.0.4.

I leave that to you.
