Sure. This is simpler, but it does not adjust the size automatically. And there are options to change the withs of the bars in a way, which you would need to recalculate manually as well. Think of the dist and firstdist and lastdist parameters. Anyway, I just thought about a fully automated solution and whether the current situation would not easily allow for creating such a solution. While I do not claim my suggestion is exactly beginner friendly, it can be implemented easily and it should do the job very well. There is not need to question the design of the graph system in general. (And that's what I'm really interested in to see, whether at some point we need certain redesigns, since those things need to be planed on the long run ...)
