I have an issue setting specific labels using the SVG yaxisLabels property

Howdy Richard,
this maybe a stupid question (there are no stupid questions, just stupid people).
SVG yaxisLabels property says if yaxisScale is set it to false I can provide an array of labels.
I assign [3.0K,2.3K,1.5K,0.8K,0] to yaxisLabels, but the graph only shows 3.0K at the bottom of y axis, where the 0 should be. I also reversed the array to see if that was the issue, it was not.

I have the following settings:
yaxis: true,
yaxisScale:false,
yaxisColor:dgGridCol,
yaxisLabels: outputObjects.yLabelArray,
yaxisLabelsCount: outputObjects.yLabelArray.length-1,
yaxisScaleMax: MAXYe,

Is there anything I am missing?
Regards,
Anthony Kuma

Here's a demo of your chart as a Bar chart and also as a Line chart with the labels:

If the labels are supposed to go from zero up to 3k you can reverse the array as I have done with the Line chart.

HTH

I massaged the configuration a little - but nothing particularly major.

After a number of days experimenting with this issue, it turns out it is a me problem not you.
I migrate the libraries to mainframe and thus begins a painful process of massaging them to fit within so many columns.
I tested the code with multiple versions from my pc to try and figure out what was going on. Everytime it worked.
Then I search for a few keywords in the .core. library on the mainframe and crosschecked it with my PC version. Woohoo, my mainframe uploader adds '-' as a line continuation, this stuffed all the 'y' position mathematics up.
Apologies Richard, appreciate your time.
