How can I graph values that are incredibly small in Java?

Question

Basically I am attempting to use JFreeChart right now to graph some values. The only problem is that the values are incredibly minuscule, e.g 7.069781E-13. I believe these values are too small for JFreeChart to display. How can I display these small values visually in Java in a line chart format?

It looks like this currently:

And I want to make it look similar to this:

Did you try setting the y axis range? – Andrew S May 22 '19 at 18:55 — Andrew S, May 22 '19 at 18:55

I found a work around. I simply multiplied all the values by a factor of 100 so the graph now looks similar to the one in the example. I will include a disclaimer in the legend saying the chart has been multiplied by a factor to clearly see the line chart.

Also consider these alternative:

Invoke setRange(), seen here, to expand the y axis in the area of interest.
Add suitable controls, seen here, to control y zoom.
Advise users how to use the mouse for zoom control, as shown here.
