You have to position the bar at the point on the graph where giving it a height fills the rectangle so that it just touches the bottom of the graph.

For example, if the bottom of the graph is at 320 pixels and the bar needs to be a height of 40, you would create the rectangle so that it appears at 320 - 40, or 280, then give it a height of 40. That will make it appear at the right spot and be the correct height.
