Showing the individual stacked items in Histograms even when size is large

[Juan Jesus]

Hi all,

 I'm currently using an histogram, and I have detected that when the number of items in a bucket is large, the bars change to a single block with a tooltip saying "items:206" (for example).

I want to retain the default behaviour of showing individual stacked items in each bucket, like this:

since, among other things, I'm using the individual item tooltips and events for navigation to an item details screen. Is there any way to achieve this? I'm already using the hideBucketItems: false property to no result...

I've seen this question about something similar, but not useful answers...

Thanks in advance!

Currently, if the item boxes are less than 4 pixels tall, I believe that is when it forces the decision to use a solid column.   The gap between items means that there would need to be at least 2 pixels per box, but it starts looking funky below 4, hence this seemed like a reasonable default.  

If we used a gradient of colors instead of the boxes, we could get as low as 1 pixel per item.  But actually, we wouldn't need to distinguish the items visually at all, and hovering could still show the tooltip for the corresponding item.

Until we make a change, you could possibly work around this by using a larger number of smaller buckets.   If the buckets are half as wide, the height will tend to be twice as high.
