# series.columnpyramid.softThreshold

When this is true, the series will not cause the Y axis to cross the zero plane (or threshold option) unless the data actually crosses the plane.

For example, if `softThreshold` is `false`, a series of 0, 1, 2, 3 will make the Y axis show negative values according to the `minPadding` option. If `softThreshold` is `true`, the Y axis starts at 0.
