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....
