Hi Xiaobo,
	You are right that compiling that information in the context of an MD trajectory is far too difficult.  Therefore, I have added code to Chimera to log all the pertinent info for axes/planes/centroids as they are created.  This means you can run through the trajectory once and then save the reply log to a file to save the relevant info.  I assume you are using a per-frame script to create the geometric objects.  You may want to add an "echo <FRAME>" to the start of your per-frame script so it is easy to tell which frame the objects belong to.
	The changes were just committed, so you will have to download a daily build dated Dec. 18th or later to get them.  Such a build should show up on the download page in about 12 hours (if the build succeeds).
