I’ve played with all the component properties, the overall width, the margins and padding, nothing seems to allow space for a 4th or 5th digit. In this screenshot the minValue should be -1000. Any ideas on what I can do here?

The problem seems to be caused by the label’s `text-anchor="middle"`. It causes the label to expand left and right as you add more digits. You can see this in your browser’s developer tools. Changing it to `text-anchor="left"` fixes it in the browser.

I don’t know how to modify the SVG “on-the-fly”. Maybe someone else will.
