there appears to be some difference between the coordinate system used
by the Location/Selection request and that used to draw/find figures.
i'm using these requests to highlight mouse rollover. it's working
correctly until the first scroll. after a scroll, the feedback is being
drawn at an offset to the actual mouse location.
my guess is that the request location is relative to the control,
whereas the figure coordinates are relative to the figure canvas.
am i correct in the diagnosis of the coordinate system mismatch here?
what transformation do i apply to get them in sync? code snippet or
pointer to existing code would be most useful.

working on the assumption that the control coordinate system is the same
as the coordinate system of the root figure, i tried using
fig.translateToRelative on the Location coordinate (where fig is the
target figure). this appears to be working, and the reasoning seems correct.
if someone knows a reason why this is not the answer for the general
case, please let me know.

To find out where a canvas-relative point is relative to a figure's bounds,
do what you did.
To find out where a figure is on the canvas, do the opposite. Take a *COPY*
of its bounds, and call translateToAbsolute on the same figure.

so "relative" means WRT the coordinate system (bounds) of the figure on
which the call is made. and "absolute" refers to the coordinate system
of the FigureCanvas (implicitly the root figure?).
that was my interpretation as well. thanks for confirming.
