Post From: Request for fix: Zero value split volume bars in Number Bars not to be shown

Issue:
Zero value split ask/bid volume bars in Number Bars are being plotted as there was any volume there and they are same size as the 1 volume bars.
This occurs ONLY if you use "Ask/Bid Volume Split profile" (In:17) along "Volume profile bars lenght relative to all visible bars" (In:102)
The issue is significant because on fast markets the trader incorrectly sees the actual volumes, especially if the "Volume Text" is off, so if the trader judges the volumes only by visually comparing the bar sizes.

See the screenshot at the link.

And for comparison the same period with the actual volumes accurately represented (by Volume by Price study in this case and with inverse ask/bid volume colors):

Request for a fix:
Please change the Number Bars so that zero value bars are not being plotted at all OR add a new option to filter 0 value bars (do not display them at all), same as it is provided for value texts (In:94). Or alternatively, maybe "Volume Bar Minimum Width" could be added, similarly to In:103 under Volume by Price study, so that the trader could set it to zero for zero volumes.

Thanks!
