I'm not sure when the capabilities will be added, but be sure to look at the invoke node's methods and at external VIs that do coordinate transforms. Because there are possibly many scales, it would take a large number of events to handle the various combinations, so the more likely way for this to wake is to have the pixel coordinate returned in the terminal along with the graph reference. You can then pass this info into a function along with the desired scales that you want it mapped to. Like I said, I'm not sure when this will appear, and I suspect there may be some VIs on devzone or other sites to do this, and in the future more of this may be built into graph methods. Greg McKaskle
