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.
looks like some problem in interpreting the big numbers, (mp can handle only numbers <4000 and some string trickery is used in the graph package); does this also happens in stand alone graphics or is it context specific?
