Dundas help topic missing: 'Start from Zero' property

I searched the Dundas help for this property but found nothing. I've been
experimenting with a stacked bar chart trying to work around another issue
related to sorting the bars from left to right with a zero line and having
the same order in the legend. I don't see that the property affects the
outcome of the chart. Anyone able to shed some light on what this property
is intended for?
Thanks,
Steve MunLeeuwHi Steve,
The StartFromZero property is not applicable to any chart type that
originates at the Axis, like a bar or column chart. This would be used
for a chart type that is not attached like a line, stock, gantt (or any
of the other range charts), etc. When set to true, the axis will
originate from zero regardless of data value. When set to false, the
chart will find a 'best' origin to focus the view to your data.
For example, take a stock chart when the security typically trades from
$100-103 daily. Viewing this with an axis starting from zero will make
the variations not noticeable. Setting StartFromZero to false will
make the trade range be focused in the chart area by having the minimum
value closer to 100 -- you will now be able to see the changes over
time.
If you would like help with your sorting problem please send the
request to our support dept and ask them to forward it to me.
