Hi Sean,

I agree, we should be able to get these plot properties that we can set on init. I'll enter a bug report.

In the meantime, I think this works (though I haven't tested it thoroughly):

IDL> p = plot(findgen(10)^2)
IDL> r = transpose([[p.xrange], [p.yrange]])
IDL> m = p.convertcoord(r, /data, /to_normal)
IDL> print, m
0.13000000 0.13000000 0.00000000
0.92000000 0.89000000 0.00000000

Check:

IDL> print, p.convertcoord(m, /normal, /to_data)
8.8817842e-016 0.00000000 0.00000000
10.000000 100.00000 0.00000000
