Possible new functionality?

I have an idea for a functionality for barchart charts. At the moment barchart graphs are showing all bars that are in the underlying data on screen. Maybe it is an idea to make it possible to use next & previous buttons or something like that ... . These buttons can for instance show the next / previous 10 bars ...

Please tell me what you think of it then I can post it as request

It would be a useful feature. I'm not sure what is the best way to go about implementing it though - it needs to take account of the fact that the screen is only one possible output target for the charts.

I was thinking of the same type of thing a while back. I came to the conclusion that doing this really requires a type coupling to the output target as David mentioned above. One possibility is a Swing component that wraps the ChartPanel (sorta like the new scroll bar demo) and alters the underlying dataset as you "page" through the results.
