> I played with your example a little and rooted around in grph-trf.mkiv. It seems "max" selects how to scale based on which dimension in the original figure is greater. Oddly, the dimensions of the MP figure are 142.26682pt by 142.2377pt. So I suspect that "max" is selecting the width as the dimension to scale to the specified width=3cm in your case. (Change the height of the MP figure to 5.01cm and you'll see a change.) Whether that's a bug or intended is a question for others. If not, then "max" is for this problem:
