Cordinates of clicking event in eclipse display

Question

I am developing an eclipse plugin using Gef. I am creating a viewpart witch holds a canvas with my graph and everything I am drawing. Through mouse events on several figures I can get the click positions. Those positions are relevant to my viewpart. Is there anyway to get those positions/coordinates relevant to the whole eclipse window?

Thanks, Kyriakos

The example (How to place a Shell on top of a Figure) in the below article may help. There is a map() method on display that converts relative coordinates of a figure into the relative coordinates a holding control, such as the main shell
