[reportlab-users] BarChart - small value bar not displaying

[Patrick Craston]

Setting the forceZero property of the valueAxis to True did the trick.

Thanks very much for your help!

Looking at the chart it's not clear exactly what the bottom value is, but I guess you're right and it is 1. If you add rangeRound = 'low' or forceZero attributes at the relevant place then the chart would look better. However, our recent project involved actual scaling where the height was so small it was drawn, but not visible. That problem's what the minDimen thing was aimed at.
