For "historic" reasons, draw externalfigure "cow" scaled 5cm ; normalizes the figure to a square. This will not be changed as it is a very old feature of MetaFun.

The solution is draw rawtextext("\externalfigure[cow]") xsized 5cm ; where one can use xsized, ysized or xysized (taking a pair).

That works indeed. Thanks. Marco
