Net Worth barchart suggestion

Hi,

I had an idea about how to improve the net worth barchart. See

http://www.uow.edu.au/~bds02/GnucashGraph.jpeg

At the moment, Assets and Liabilities are plotted on the same axis. 
Really, Liabilities are the opposite of Assets. A negative liability is 
a posotive asset. The current graph makes this fact confusing. The 
suggested format will help to clear this up. (Note that if you do have a 
negative asset or a negative liability, I'm not quite sure how to draw 
it in this format :-) )

The net worth is marked on my drawing by extra horizontal lines, but I 
think that needs to be improved.

Ben.
