Highcharts Remove Space across the x-Axis

Question

I am trying to build an Area Graph using Highcharts library. All of a sudden i see that there is some spacing on the x-axis before my actual data starts. I want to start the graph right from [0,0] axis with appropriate data.

<?php 
    $data1 = array(3300, 3000, 4300, 4200, 2900, 1900, 1800); 
?>
<script type="text/javascript">$(function () {
var chart = new Highcharts.Chart({
    chart: {
        renderTo: 'areachart',
        type: 'area'
    },
    title: {
            text: 'People'
    },
    credits: {
        enabled: false
    },
    xAxis: {
        startOnTick: false,
        categories: ['Sun', 'Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed', 'Thu', 'Fri', 'Sat']
    },
    yAxis: {
        title: {
            text: null
        },
        labels: {
                formatter: function() {
                    return this.value;
                }
        }
    },
    plotOptions: {
        area:{
            dataLabels: {
                enabled: true
            }
        }
    },
    series: [{
        data: [<?php foreach($data1 as $da):
                        echo $da.', ';
                     endforeach;
               ?>
              ]
    }]
});
});
</script>

Good news, it is possible... with some caveats.

xAxis: {
        categories: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May', 'Jun', 'Jul', 'Aug', 'Sep', 'Oct', 'Nov', 'Dec'],
        min:0.5,
        max:10.5,
        tickInterval:1,
        maxPadding:0,
        endOnTick:false,
        startOnTick:false
    }

Here are the important bits: The min and max are set to be 0.5 "inside" the chart. start/endOnTick are set to false.

One caveat: This doesn't work when there are only two categories...
