Hello again,
If I want to get the current visad coords and screen coords (by coords I
mean the values for the 4 corners) for the box (the box that defines the
graph region), what is the most proper way to go about this?
I'd like to get these values in order to do some range testing when
performing various operations such as zooming. I'd like to test whether a
particular coordinate is inside the box.
Thanks
Brandon
