They won't do directly because of the tic rounding. But there's
already the function to convert from screen to world coordinates
and that can be used.

I will add a second function for the world coordinates.

Just wait a bit until I have checked in the new version
with the second function (I will send you another email
when I'm done).

Sorry, my day job keeps me quite busy so that I don't have
too much time to spend on XForms at the moment (or any other
