axescoord2figurecoord

Transform axes coordinates in current figure units coordinate.

Description

Transform axes coordinates in current
figure units coordinate. Useful for annotation location.

Acknowledgments are due to Scott Hirsch ([e-mail]) for is
function ds2nfu. Some part of the present function derived from ds2nfu.

The advantage of the present function comparing to ds2nfu is that it managed problems occurring with various 'DataAspectRatioMode' and 'PlotBoxAspectRatioMode' as well as reverse 'XDir' or 'YDir'.

I'd like to thank the author for posting this file.

The function axescoord2figurecoord can be used instead of matlab's 'dsxy2figxy' when transforming from axis to figure coordinates and your 'PlotBoxAspectRatio' differs from [1 1 1].
Note for users! Only works with figure units set to normalized, like: set(gcf,'Units','normalized').

If an annotation object is moved manually, and the new location needs to be extracted, then the opposite conversion is necessary. Would someone like to write it (in the same rigorous way as here, taking PlotBoxAspectRatio and DataAspectRatio into account) ? :-)
