Quick and simple solution to a lot of similar problems, use [range].
It needs four arguments, the input range (in this case 0 to the size of your gemwin) as two arguments, and the output range (usually -4 to 4) and it will convert one into the other. Although to make this work on gem you need one for each of the x and y axes.
You can do this by re-scaling yourself, although this does take more time and effort, but also can provide more control. In the end it's your own choice.

Hi, I'm trying to use gemmouse with pix_data to get the color values of pixels in an image under the mouse. gemmouse and pix_data use different co-ordinates? Is there a simple way to do this. It would be simpler if pix_draw put the image I was looking at into the bottom left of the gem window but it doesn't also because translateXYZ uses a different scale again from pix_data and gemmouse that complicates the matter. Anyway I'm sure there is a simple way to get the color values under the cursor. Any hints? Thanks, Jim
