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.
