That level of detail might just require some iterative calls to g_dist and 
g_angle, unfortunately.  Scripts are your friend, here.  Also, g_mdmat might be 
useful, but it plots minimum distances between *residue* pairs, not atom pairs. 
  Much more convenient than repeated calls to g_dist, however :)
