Re: [NTG-context] Plotting a graph of a function f, like f(x) = e^x, with MetaPost

Dear ConTeXt folks,

I finally chose MetaPost/MetaFun [1] because of the native integration with ConTeXt and hopefully easy font handling. I want to use that throughout my document.

Of course I hit the first problem. Wanting to draw a “simple” function f like f(x) = e^x, seems hard to accomplish. I guess I should stress that MetaPost does not have a high accuracy so it might not be the best solution [5].

So what do you suggest?  To wait for next metapost beta (or compile the version in trunk by yourself; however you might also need to change ConTeXt a bit, so that it will call metapost with the right parameters).
