I would just like to add my vote for this feature as well. I am beating my head against the wall with this exact issue. It's impossible to calculate the y min for the chart because FusionCharts does it adaptively (although if they provided the algo I could do the same).
The situation I have is I want a trendzone that colors in all of the chart up to some y number. However, my charts can have deep negative values. As such, even when I give my trendline a startValue of the lowest negative number there is still a fair amount of "buffer" space on the bottom of the chart that isn't filled in.
I've tried several formulas to always fill it in (i.e. lowest value * 2.5, lowest value * 2.33), but I inevitably find a chart where the adaptive range is different than this formula and I have unfilled space on the chart. Oh, and if you give your trendline/zone a value lower than the y min of the chart, the entire trendline doesn't show up. (My first thought was to set my startValue to -99999999999. On the flip side if you remove startValue from your trendline XML it just sets it to 0.)
