Upon working with this a little further, I discover that it works only in full-view screen mode. May be that's because xy is in pixel mode then? When I save it to a png file and then view it, the lines are wrong. -- John Henry

Thanks for the answer, John and Jouni. Okay, Line2D works. However, it appears to work in point (or is it pixels?) only. It doesn't accept xycoords="figure fraction" as an option. How can I specify xy as a fraction of the figure size? I read the transform cookbook cited by Jouni. I am afraid I am lost what that does....
