Before Flex, our Html-based front-end could produce a column chart using simple HTML Tables and a jpeg for a column. We would vary the height of each column based on its percentage of the total items that column represented, and we would vary the width of each column based on the percentage of value that column represented in relation to the total of all column values. What we wound up with, was a chart that could have short and wide (a lot of items, but little value), short and tall (a few items, but most of the value), etc.
We are trying to do this in Flex with a ColumnChart, but it appears that the most we can do with a column item rendered is adjust other properties such as color -- as Flex takes care of the width based on the dimensions of the chart and the number of columns. Can this be overridden?
