Bernd: There are actually a couple of FAQs that address this question, including the new collection of HOWTOs maintained by WRI. I've had the same experience that you describe, though, where I haven't had much luck finding items in this collection or the technical FAQs using the site search engine. This is unfortunate, since the material there supplements the Mathematica book and (hopefully) will grow too large for casual browsing. From http://library.wolfram.com/howtos/coords/ or http://support.wolfram.com/Graphics/SelectPoints.html How Do I Extract Coordinates from a Plot? To select a coordinate in a Mathematica plot or two-dimensional graphic, select the graphic, press the CONTROL key, and press the left mouse button. A small dot at the position of the mouse pointer and the coordinates will be displayed in the lower-left corner of the window. To see or use these coordinates, choose Copy from the Edit menu, unselect the graphic, and paste. The coordinates will show up as a Mathematica list in a new input cell. This information is available in the Input|Get Graphics Coordinates menu. A.
