I would cut the function graphics programmers some slack here. That is
an EXTREMELY complicated system they are dealing with. I can't imagine
that dealing with a data range that differs in the ninth decimal place
is the first thing you are trying to keep track of while you are working
with this code. Nor do I find it too far fetched to think that the
character size of the plot might have something to do with the axis data
range. There is a LOT of scaling of axes, viewports, etc. that has to go
on in an object graphics system. It is not surprising to me to find some
kind of linkage here.

Cheers,

David
