I'm not sure I know exactly how to use the Minkowski diagram. For
example, let's say you have a stationary observer and a moving
observer, and an event somewhere, for which the coordinates are x and
t in the stationary frame and x' and t' in the moving frame. How do
you get t', for example, from the Minkowski diagram?

Through the given point, draw a line parallel to the x' axis. *The
intersection of that line and the t' axis gives the value of t' for
the given point.

Mike --- This seems to contradict what Dirk was saying, which
according to my calculations works.
