Horizontal bars

[John Harrison]

I am trying to draw a chart with the bars horizontal. I need to do that
because the labels of each bar are names (up to 20 characters long) rather
than numerical values, so I want them on the y-axis where I can them
enough space while keeping the bars fairly close together.

I've hunted through the options but can't find how to do it. I know I've
done this before but maybe that was before I migrated to FireWorkz.

Any help appreciated.

When people complain, it is not usually about the real problem, but about something else.

I'm afraid that's one chart style that Fireworkz doesn't support, John.

Any chance it can be added, as it would be a useful feature.

Or simply the option to rotate the labels on the x-axis to run
perpendicular to the axis...
