Seems fine. If we, however, can afford adding two routines, I would vote for
  void fl_get_xyplot_screen_plotrange
  void fl_get_xyplot_world_plotrange
the first being exactly what you have suggested, and the latter returning
world coords (which, AFAIU, are kept as xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax members of the
structure - this may require checking).

Surely one can convert between the two but it would be easier to get them
directly. Furthermore, I actually need "world" coordinates (e.g. to plot an
overlayed full-width or full-height lines on the data) and do not
immediately see any need for the screen coords of the plot corners.

Well, I can try. I have found the links and instructions on the XForms
Savannah page. BTW, the News there end on 1.0.93sp1, almost a year ago! :-(
