Don't ask me why, but the following works (the problem is that metafun has
an adapted format.tex file); if you make me a couple of examples i can see
how i can support graph.mp in a better way (the point is that i want to
bypass the texnum stuff and provide real texing instead of the pseudo
texing in format.mp)
\startMPinclusions
write "" to "texnum.mp" ; batchmode ; input graph ;
init_numbers
(textext("$-$"),
textext("$1$"),
textext("${\times}10$"),
textext("${}^-$"),
textext("${}^2$"));
Fe_base := textext("$10$") ;
\stopMPinclusions
\startuseMPgraphic{testgraphlabel}
draw begingraph(3in,2in);
setrange(origin,2,2);
endgraph;
\stopuseMPgraphic
