Did your question get answered?  I may have lost track.

You are creating the drawing area with a height of 210 points, but you
are setting the height of the plot to 170 points:

       drawing = shapes.Drawing(145, 210)
        lp = LinePlot()
        lp.x = 30
        lp.y = 20
        lp.height = 120
        lp.width = 170
        lp.data = [ data.values() ]

That extra 40 points represents the empty space you see.
