Hello! I am curious about how to get the axes coordinates of the four corners of a RenderView panel. For example, I can see data within the range [x0,x1)x[y0,y1) from this panel and I want to know exactly x0,x1,y0, and y1.
The use case is to create a box that matching the RenderView range. For example, in the attached sample figure the right panel is a zoom in view of a small part of the left panel, and I want to create a box on the left panel to mark the range of what is shown on the right.
Thank you!

I do not think there is a quick way to prescribe the RenderView by 4 coordinates.
However, you can play with the camera position to take a picture of your interest.
