Any help will be appreciated. > > > Tia, > > Bill > Hi Bill! Phew! This one was a lot of trial and error here. I changed: 1.) Omitted the conversion of the angle to degree and back to radians and moved the axes-related Options out of Graphics[] 2.) I use the rotation and translation inside Inset 3.) became finally aware that it seems to be necessary that the axes Graphics and the ContourPlot have got the same ImagePadding. And I added a grey circle to verify that the axes in the plot and in the inset are of same length. a = 17; b = -48; c = 31; alpha = ArcTan[b/(a - c)]/2; axes = Show[Graphics[Point[{0, 0}]], PlotRange -> {{-12, 12}, {-12, 12}}, Axes -> True, AxesStyle -> {Directive[{Red, Thin}], Directive[{Black, Thin}]}, AxesLabel -> {"'x", "'y"}, ImagePadding -> 20]; ContourPlot[17*x^2 - 48*x*y + 31*y^2 + 49 == 0, {x, -12, 12}, {y, -12, 12}, PlotRange -> {{-12, 12}, {-12, 12}}, AspectRatio -> Automatic, Axes -> True, AxesStyle -> {Directive[{Red, Thin}], Directive[{Black, Thin}]}, AxesLabel -> {"X", "Y"}, Background -> LightGray, Prolog -> {GrayLevel[0.7], AbsoluteThickness[1], Circle[{0, 0}, 12], Inset[axes, {0, 0}, {0, 0}, ImageScaled[1], Through[{Cos, Sin}[alpha]]]}, ImageSize -> 500, ImagePadding -> 20] hth, Peter
