There is another possibility that hasn't been mentioned: Draw two sets of
axes in the same plot and then draw your curves relative to the appropriate
set of axes. It's then easy to draw a line between points in the different
reference systems.  See <
http://rowdy.mscd.edu/~talmanl/HTML/MovingSlopeTriangle.html> for an
animation constructed in this way.
