The two points forms a line which is perpendicular to the screen.

When `pickableparts` is `"all"` both visible and invisible parts (or children) may react to mouse clicks. When `pickableparts` is `"none"` mouse clicks on the object are ignored and transmitted to any objects underneath this one. When an object is configured to accept mouse clicks the `"hittest"` property will determine how they are processed. See hittest property.

  Specify the position of the plot including titles, axes, and legend. The four elements of the vector are the coordinates of the lower left corner and width and height of the plot, in units normalized to the width and height of the plot window.
