Brilliant! Thanks for the suggestion. The other problem is a more serious problem for me: how do I shorten the line so that it goes between the boundaries of the circle instead of the centers, especially when the circles are constructed in a scatter plot. If I knew how big the circles were in plot coordinates, it wouldn't be a problem. But the circle size isn't specified in plot coordinates, but in scale-independent coordinates, I believe. Is there a way I could somehow compute the intersections of the paths? Maybe while I draw the line, I could also construct a circle of the right size at the endpoint, ask for the intersection, and shorten my line to go there? Thanks again!
