Its not the most practical component though but for a slick “Reports UI” I had to develop a diagonal bar chart component that can be used to display a barchart 45degrees to the horizontal axis. At first i thought of solving this by using a conventional Flex Barchart but it turned out to be too much of effort in styling the barchart to look like the Screenshot, So i went ahead and wrote diagonal barChart from scratch.
Limitations :
1) Chart not re-sizable
2) Chart written with embedded font (otherwise label cant be rotated).
3) Chart cannot be configured with direction, barThickness and barGap.
Features:
1) “n” Diagonal bars can be drawn on screen : i have tested it with 1000 but 50 bars are more practical.
2) top 10 bars drawn + Others : this feature enables you to see top 10 bars with the rest of the bars clubbed into others
3)sorted/unsorted bars by value.
well do try it out and if you like the widget do let me kno.
