I'm sorry but I made a request for a better explanation of the different  
modes because the current prose doesn't do it. I don't see how leaving the  
text as it is helps here. And, seeing I as find the current text doesn't  
explain behaviour, I don't know how I can be expected to provide  
suggestions and how layouting of charts works remains a mystery. I did  
suggest some schema changes which were rejected on grounds of  
compatibility but the narrative could definitely provide more information  
about the intention of the modes, their use together and suggested bounds  
(-1 < x < 1)? It is otherwise a matter of guess work and trial and error.

What is edge mode?

What is factor mode?

These should be explained and accompanied by relevant sketches.
