Would it be possible to overlay controls on top of (or around the sides of) the graph itself? So you'd click the x-axis label to change the column used on the x-axis, etc.
You could even make it more tableauey by turning the x- and y-axes into drag and drop zones, with a list of columns down the side that users could drag over to the right axes.
Heck you could even turn the whole thing into one big drop target, with a list of graph types down another side, which the user would drop on the graph to change the type.
