            Bug ID: 479040
           Summary: Show balance chart: should always display absolute
                    values
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: 5.1.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist

SUMMARY
I noticed that the the Show balance chart button, which is available when a
ledger is opened, shows positive number scale for assets and negative number
scale for liabilities. I believe it should show absolute values. Meaning,
always positive values regardless if the account being displayed is a liability
or asset. Or perhaps provide a toggle for users to decide how they want to show
it. 

In my opinion, it is confusing to see the liabilities show negative values when
I want to see the balance history(line trend) of the account. This however, may
only be a preference and it absolutely does not hinder the usability of the
application. 


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a ledger of asset type
2. Press the Show balance chart button on the top bar
3. Notice the values are in positive range (assuming the account is not under)
4. Open a ledger of type Liability
5. Press the Show balance chart button on the top bar
6. Notice the values are in negative range(assuming the account is not over
credited)


OBSERVED RESULT
See above

EXPECTED RESULT
Matter of opinion; seems to me that the value and chart should be based on
absolute values(positive number scale) regardless of liability or asset type of
account.
