Thanks both to luigi and to Alan! I'm impressed by your brute force
method, Alan! In particular it learned me the "hide" command.

I feel a bit ashamed. Earlier today I answered something else giving a
reference to the metafun manual. Now I'm here not reading it carefully
enough myself. In the helpers section it is clearly written how to
import and plot data. Thus, I exported the data from the Mathematica
plot (that file is pasted below in case anyone wants to try this
themselves, sorry in advance for the big amount of text it generates
in this email) and then importing it just worked fine. I like Alan's
method very much, but it takes some time during compilation, so I will
probably stick with importing. Working code below (where one can see
that Alan's method is indeed working fine, at least with this
example).

Again, thanks to both luigi and Alan!
