Hi,
in the nodes->"type in" panel, when you click on a node, HM replaces the focussed entry value by the nodes coordinate. So for only a few nodes, this might help.
Another possibility is to write a small script to output or display the coordinates. The following script (saved as a tcl file and started by the most right button on the standard toolbar) creates tags at a selection of nodes:
*createmarkpanel nodes 1 "Select nodes"
foreach n [hm_getmark nodes 1] {
set label [join [lindex [hm_nodevalue $n] 0] "__"]
*tagcreate nodes $n $label "N $n" 6
}
Enjoy the ride
