;spd_ui_draw_object method: norm2pt
;
;converts back from the normalized value into points,
;While the normalized value is dependent on screen dimensions
;zoom, & resolution.  The value in points should be an
;absolute quantity
;
;Inputs:
;  Value(numeric or array of numerics):  A value in screen normal coords
;  xy(boolean) 0 : convert from x-axis, 1:convert from y-axis(because screen dims differ, axis must be specified)
