I understand, but I'd like a way to plot lines based on (and fixed to) a pixel of the container, rather than a coordinate of the map. There ought to be a difference between plotting line based on the map and plotting lines based on the container, so to speak. Maybe an option that allows you to draw straight line, completely independent of the map.
