How to create dashboard with fixed width bar charts?

Hello,

After we presented a prototype in Excel to our customer, we would like to create a JFreeChart version of a dashboard like this airline dashboard, especially the top 10 graphics (very simple bar charts):

Other great examples can be found at the url=www.bonavistasystems.com/OnlineDemoReports.html BonaVista site.

However, we cannot seem to control the bar height of different charts. Is there a way to elegantly construct these types of graphics with JFreeChart?

I read the Eastwood chart servlet mimicks Google charts. Would it also support the bar width property mentioned in the url=code.google.com/apis/chart/#styles Google chart api?

Thanks for your comments,

Kristof

I did some work for a client a few months ago to create exactly this sort of dashboard. It is relatively straightforward, and as soon as I find the time I'll add a couple of examples to the JFreeChart demo collection.

Dave,

That would be great! Please do not wait too long, because we are approaching a deadline.

Thanks a bunch,

Well, I have my own deadlines too. But I'm on the lookout for some more consulting work, if you want priority treatment:
