Jon Guyer asked if we can get the list of point coordinates used by  
Plot without using Plot.

I don't know how; but we can avoid some overheads.

In[1]:=
	pl = Plot[{x^2},{x,0,2},DisplayFunction -> Identity];

In[2]:=
	coordinates = pl[[1,1,1,1,1]];

If more data is needed about the plot try the following -- I won't   
show the long outputs.

In[3]:=
	FullGraphics[pl][[1]];
and
In[4]:=
	FullOptions[pl];

The latter can be limited to particular options:
In[5]:=
	FullOptions[pl, PlotRange]
Out[5]=
	{{-0.05, 2.05}, {-0.1, 4.1}}
In[6]:=
	FullOptions[pl,{PlotRange, AspectRatio}]
Out[6]=
	{{{-0.05, 2.05}, {-0.1, 4.1}}, 0.618034}
