The axis macro is the result of one of the first experiments with the key|/|value
interface in \METAFUN. Let's show a lot in one example:

\startbuffer[1]
\startMPcode
    draw lmt_axis [
        sx =   5mm, sy =   5mm,
        nx =  20,   ny =  10,
        dx =   5,   dy =   2,
        tx =  10,   ty =  10,

        list = {
            [
                connect = true,
                color   = "darkred",
                close   = true,
                points  = { (1, 1), (15, 8), (2, 10) },
                texts   = { "segment 1", "segment 2", "segment 3" }
            ],
            [
                connect = true,
                color   = "darkgreen",
                points  = { (2, 2), (4, 1), (10, 3), (16, 8), (19, 2) },
                labels  = { "a", "b", "c", "d", "e" }
            ],
            [
                connect = true,
                color   = "darkblue",
                close   = true,
                points  = { (5, 3), (8, 8), (16, 1) },
                labels  = { "1", "2", "3" }
            ]
        },

    ] withpen pencircle scaled 1mm  ;

This macro will probably be extended at some point.
