Visio Services web-part: added white space to diagram?

[thevesper]

Hello,

I have a visio web drawing that I created in Visio 2010 that, when I upload it to SharePoint to link it to a Visio Web Access web-part on SharePoint, seems to 'build in' some white space to the top of the drawing - even though I have selected the page size within Visio 2010 to be fit with the drawing.

Example: The dotted-line around the below screenshot reflects the smallest height dimension I have been able to specify on the web-part to be able to see the full drawing -- despite the fact, as I mentioned above, that the size of the drawing in Visio is snug to fit the timeline -- i.e. that there is no white space whatsoever above '19/04/2014'. Why can't I specify a smaller height of the web-part and it still show me the full diagram - by not building in this random white space? (Additionally, the option to fit the drawing to the height/width seems to produce erratic results). Does anyone have any suggestions?
