Comment
Would still like the feature to control the size of the bar in terms of the width so I could use bar graphs to put them in a sort of ‘time line’ such as ‘this bar represents how long this lasts’ and then have other bars that could be at the same time, but they’d be represented as different based on the y-axis.
If that makes sense.
But these changes are looking good so far.
