EDIT: I think my question is better phrased as: How can I have a Y-axis that doesn't start at zero? It seems like the x-axis always gets placed at the y=0, but I would like the x-axis to be at some positive number on the y-axis.

Here's a graph with more regular data... I just wish the x-axis was placed at the minimum y-value for the plot (about 77), instead of at 0.

Here is the function I use to create the graph.

It's a whole bunch of code, and I'm not quite sure which piece might be off to not display the x-axis.

Could the x-axis not showing have something to do with my data?

- (void) showGraph:(SavedDetailScreen*)dataSource {

  // create the graph and add it to the view
  CPXYGraph *graph = [[CPXYGraph alloc] initWithFrame: CGRectZero];
  graph.plotArea.masksToBorder = NO;

  [self addSubview:graphView];
  graphView.hostedLayer = graph;
  graph.paddingLeft = 50.0;
  graph.paddingTop = 20.0;
  graph.paddingRight = 10.0;
  graph.paddingBottom = 40.0;              

  // set up the ranges for the graph axis
  float minElevation = dataSource.track.tbStats.minAlt;
  float maxElevation = dataSource.track.tbStats.maxAlt-dataSource.track.tbStats.minAlt;
  float minDistance = 0.0f;
  float maxDistance = dataSource.track.tbStats.totalDistance;
  CPXYPlotSpace *plotSpace = (CPXYPlotSpace *)graph.defaultPlotSpace;
  plotSpace.xRange = [CPPlotRange plotRangeWithLocation:CPDecimalFromFloat(minDistance)
                                             length:CPDecimalFromFloat(maxDistance)];
  plotSpace.yRange = [CPPlotRange plotRangeWithLocation:CPDecimalFromFloat(minElevation)
                                                 length:CPDecimalFromFloat(maxElevation)];

  // style the graph with white text and lines
  CPTextStyle *whiteText = [CPTextStyle textStyle];
  whiteText.color = [CPColor whiteColor];              
  CPLineStyle *whiteStyle = [CPLineStyle lineStyle];
  whiteStyle.lineColor = [CPColor whiteColor];
  whiteStyle.lineWidth = 2.0f;

  // set up the axis
  CPXYAxisSet *axisSet = (CPXYAxisSet *)graph.axisSet;      
  CPXYAxis *x = axisSet.xAxis;
  CPXYAxis *y = axisSet.yAxis;              
  x.majorIntervalLength = CPDecimalFromFloat(maxDistance/10.0f);
  x.minorTicksPerInterval = 0;
  x.majorTickLineStyle = whiteStyle;
  x.minorTickLineStyle = whiteStyle;
  x.axisLineStyle = whiteStyle;
  x.minorTickLength = 5.0f;
  x.majorTickLength = 10.0f;
  x.labelOffset = 3.0f;
  x.labelTextStyle = whiteText;
  y.majorIntervalLength = CPDecimalFromFloat(maxElevation/5.0f);
  y.minorTicksPerInterval = 0;
  y.majorTickLineStyle = whiteStyle;
  y.minorTickLineStyle = whiteStyle;
  y.axisLineStyle = whiteStyle;
  y.minorTickLength = 5.0f;
  y.majorTickLength = 10.0f;
  y.labelOffset = 3.0f;
  y.labelTextStyle = whiteText;

  CPScatterPlot *plot = [[[CPScatterPlot alloc] initWithFrame:graph.bounds] autorelease];
  plot.dataLineStyle.lineWidth = 2.0f;
  plot.dataLineStyle.lineColor = [CPColor blueColor];
  plot.dataSource = dataSource;
  [graph addPlot:plot];
  CPPlotSymbol *greenCirclePlotSymbol = [CPPlotSymbol ellipsePlotSymbol];
  greenCirclePlotSymbol.fill = [CPFill fillWithColor:[CPColor greenColor]];
  greenCirclePlotSymbol.size = CGSizeMake(2.0, 2.0);
  plot.plotSymbol = greenCirclePlotSymbol;
