Well, the whole point is to NOT need to do any Y-scaling. What would be the case for zooming in?

I'm sorry, I meant X-axis. I'm embarrassed.

Ha. Good question, actually.

The simplest option would obviously be to just show a conventional candlestick when zoomed out. There might be an option to do something interesting with rendering the stick when min/max have the same higher-order factors... but it might also end up looking like a royal mess.
