Hi,

Is there a way to read an entire data set into an array in Metpost, 
something like:

numeric coeffs[];
coeffs:=[1,2,3,4,5];

Not like this. You need to write a loop.  Metaposts variables are
not really arrays, merely objects with composite names of which
the sub-parts are allowed to be numeric expressions.
