I'd like to be able to determine the location of a data point relative to the
chart object. My goal is to automate the drawing of a horizontal arrow
between 2 series that form vertical lines on an XY scatter plot (similar to
the dimension lines on an engineering drawing). Is this possible?

I use the calculated X and Y positions of points in these examples to
draw other features:

The code is not so complicated that you couldn't see how to draw your
own objects according to plotted point positions.

Jon, thanks!

Your example answered my question brilliantly. After some translation from
your VBA to my Managed C++, I have what I need.

Thanks again.
