Oh Knowledgeable Ones: I'm working on a project using grid graphics (for the first time). A toy example is given below, run it simply with >foobar() I am wondering why the pink dot and concentric circles are not centered on the 3-color axis system. Further, I feel like the concentric circles don't have the intended radius - if my math is right, the outmost circle should touch the ends of the colored axes. My sense is that this has something to do with my mis-handling of the viewports, but I can't quite see it. Any hints much appreciated!
