Perhaps "X-Y plot" is a something of a misnomer--what the "X-Y plot"
really represents is the plot of some user-specified quantity along an
arbitrary user-defined contour. The x-y plot is not nominally oriented
at x=y=0. You can start and end the contour at any points that you desire.
When you then make a plot, the horizontal axis (or first column, if you
are writing the info to disk) is a length in whatever units that you
used when you drew the problem geometry. The horizontal axis always
starts from zero, and this length represents the distance along the
user-defined contour as measured from the starting point of the contour.
Dave.
