How can I get the bounding box coordinates for the pgfplot below? I need the coordiates in pgfplot space. (current axis.south west) and (current bounding box.south west), for example, do not give what I need. I'm expecting something like SW = (-7,-1.1), NE = (8.2,1.4), which would extend to the right beyond the red rectangle.

It sounds as if you are looking for \pgfplotspointgetnormalizedcoordinates{}
