Hi,
As far as I know, the destination coordinate of trans* is a display
(canvas) coordinate, not the normalized figure coordinate. It has a
dimension of f.get_figwidth()*f.get_dpi(),
f.get_figheight()*f.get_dpi().
For example, transFigure transforms the normalized figure coordinate
to the display coordinate.
See if something like below works for you.
ax = gca()
f = gcf()
x1, y1, x2, y2 = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5
trans = ax.transData + f.transFigure.inverted()
ax_x1, ax_y1 = trans.transform_point([x1, y1])
ax_x2, ax_y2 = trans.transform_point([x2, y2])
ax_dx, ax_dy = ax_x2 - ax_x1, ax_y2 - ax_y1
a = axes([ax_x1, ax_y1,ax_dx, ax_dy])
IHTH,
-JJ
