You may have to also add bounds checking of some sort, since the
problem this user is having is that it's returning a point that isn't
even shown on the plot. That is, there 10 points in the array but
the xbound is set to some subset, so that, say, points 5, 6, and 7 are
shown on the plot and the user clicks on point 6, the index and values
of point 1 (assuming an index origin of zero) are returned.
I haven't had a chance to look at the source in any detail yet -- too
many meetings and too much proposal writing!
