I just finished, with Eugenio Roanes-Lozano, a package that does this. We
take output files generated by one of the major interactive geometry
programs and import it and automatically translate it into Maple.
Coordinates become symbolic variables and all geometric objects are
parameterized. Theorem proving is automatically invoked. (The package is
not available for public release yet.)

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree that any information that appears on the
screen should be accessible programmatically. Matlab, which you seem to
think is totally worthless, allows mouse input on plots. If I need mouse
input on a plot, I use the builtin Matlab - Maple interface. But that
means the mouse has to be clicked on a Matlab plot, not a Maple plot.
