Just to make it clear: this wasn't an example for the gallery, but
more or less the only asymptote example on my hard drive (excluding
examples from the manual), just to help Aditya and Jeroen play with
something.

Well, if you want to be a purist: why do you need figures at all? One
can easily represent all the data in tables and describe images like
this one in pure mathematical formulation.

I know, but I don't know the reason for that "weirdness". I added the
axis just because I kept forgetting orientation of axes – the axes
themselves weren't part of the drawing, so I didn't try to search for
solution to make it look better.
