Hi, try selecting the ViewPoint option in the inspector and clicking the graphics itself. The Option Inspector should then show e.g. something like: NCache[{Pi, Rational[1, 2] Pi, 6}, {3.141592653589793, 1.5707963267948966`, 6}] giving you the accurate view point. hope this helps, Daniel ahallam at iastate.edu wrote: > On Apr 26, 2:44 am, Steve Gray <stev... at roadrunner.com> wrote: >> I thought I saw somewhere that one could read out coordinates from a >> Graphics plot, according to the mouse position.
