Minimum Chart size or remove whitespace

I upgraded the company from Filemaker 11 to Filemaker 13.  We are using Filemaker's built in charts.

In Filemaker 11, we had a small 1" long , 1/2" tall line graph, which we used to show a trend.  Clicking the chart will go to another layout with a large chart.

However in FM13, the line cannot be seen.  when I made the graph 2" long by 1" tall, I see the line graph, but I see a lot of white-space at the top and bottom.  If these are "fixed" dimensions, it would squeeze in on the actual line.  I thought this was the graph title, axis titles, etc.  So I made sure the titles were blank. Didn't work.  then I changed their fontsize to 1pt.  still didn't work. 

Is there a way to remove that whitespace? or do I have to make these charts bigger?

Update: I attached a picture of what I mean. the top is 1" by 1/2".  the bottom is a duplicate of the graph, 2" by 1".

Have you checked the padding of the Chart Element?

Go into layout mode, select the chart.  
Next check the Appearance Tab of the Inspector.

I checked padding. All 4 sides are 0.  I can't go negative either
