That is correct, but in pre-6.0 versions, you were only saving points
that corresponded to the mouse. Those may or may not be the points on
the curve, depending on how well you could trace over the curve with the
mouse. I was only trying provide an immediate visual feedback of actual
values on the curve. The raw values on the curve are available within
the graphics object if I should need to process those further.
