Dear ConTeXt/MetaFun folks,


looking at the example for grid and functions in the MetaFun manual [1]
section 9.3

        drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled .25pt withcolor .5white) ;
        draw hlingrid(0, 20, .2, 20cm, 10cm) ;
        draw vloggrid(0, 10, .5, 10cm, 20cm) ;
        drawoptions(withpen pencircle scaled .50pt) ;
        draw hlingrid(0, 20, 1, 20cm, 10cm) ;
        draw vloggrid(0, 10, 1, 10cm, 20cm) ;
        
        fmt_pictures := false ; % use TeX as formatting engine
        textextoffset := ExHeight ; % a variable set by ConTeXt
        draw hlintext.lft(0, 20, 5, 20cm, "@3e") ;
        draw vlogtext.bot(0, 10, 9, 10cm, "@3e") ;
        
        draw
        function(1,"log(x)","x",1,10,1) xyscaled (10cm,2cm)
        withpen pencircle scaled 5mm withcolor transparent(1,.5,yellow) ;

I am confused how the resulting function is scaled correctly. The
resulting dimensions seem to be 10cm and 18 cm. So I guess the 2 cm mean
to shift it up some how.

Could someone please explain to me how `xyscaled` works in this case
please. I though `xyscaled (αcm, ζcm)` would set the object/path to a
width of α cm and a height of ζ cm.


Thanks,

Paul
