Enhancement proposal for Waterfall chart. For #583 #778

Open sanand0 opened 2 years ago

@scanny I've put together an analysis document for the waterfall chart, as you'd suggested for #583

I based this on the Bubble Chart proposal. This only covers the waterfall chart as an example, but this could be easily extended to cover:

boxWhisker
clusteredColumn
paretoLine
sunburst
treemap

I'd be happy to support this in any way. Please let me know if you'd like any further analysis or exploration.

Thanks for the comments @scanny. The newer charts are steadily gaining traction, and I'd be happy to work on this. I'll spend the next few days comparing the new charts with the old and revert based on your comments.

@scanny -- I've added a few details, but I thought it might be best to share the full extract of a PPT with a bar chart and a waterfall TEMPORARILY so that you might get a sense of what's happening & is different between these charts.

I'll continue with the analysis, but just wanted to check with you if it's OK to commit a few selected XML files as part of the PR?
