Hi Folks.
This is not strictly a ConTeXt problem, but I was hoping there were
enough MetaPost experts on the list that I might get an idea of what's
going on, or at the least, where to go for more information.
I think the MetaPost graphing features are fantastic. It produces very
nice output, and automatically handles a lot of axis labelling that other
packages don't bother with.
However, it auto-labels the y-axis on the following three graphs very
differently. I was wondering if this is a strict limitation in the axis
ranges that MetaPost deals with gracefully, or if it might be a bug. I
haven't seen any reference to the correct range for graph axes. I've
tried many ranges, and some work, some don't.
Would the MetaFont list be able to help?
\usemodule[graph]
%% This one works as it should.
\startMPcode
draw begingraph(130mm,35mm);
setrange(0,0,10,22000);
glabel.lft(btex {correct 0--22000} etex rotated 90, OUT);
autogrid(itick.bot,grid.lft) withcolor .75white ;
endgraph;
\stopMPcode
%% This one gives output, but yields incorrect labels
\startMPcode
draw begingraph(130mm,35mm);
setrange(0,50,10,22000);
glabel.lft(btex {wrong 50--22000} etex rotated 90, OUT);
autogrid(itick.bot,grid.lft) withcolor .75white ;
endgraph;
\stopMPcode
%% This simply gives up.
\startMPcode
draw begingraph(130mm,35mm);
setrange(0,110,10,22000);
glabel.lft(btex {failed 110--22000} etex rotated 90, OUT);
autogrid(itick.bot,grid.lft) withcolor .75white ;
endgraph;
\stopMPcode
Thanks in advance,
adam
