Does converting both coordinates to absolute (via
Figure#translateToAbsolute()) not work? If you do this, you shouldn't have
to adjust for the zoom scale.

Thanks...that gave me the solution to the problem. I converted all
coordinates to absolute, and then, once my comparison was done, converted
back to relative to the viewport.
I'm just curious, does anyone else believe that this is an extremely long
winded way to do something simple? Seems like there should be a way to
simply do a one way conversion that adjusts for scroll and zoom. Just my
thoughts.
