BarChart CategoryAxis limitation

[Paru Somashekar]

When we initially designed and implemented BarChart, the idea was that 
it is a Chart that shows rectangular ( horizontal or vertical) bars 
representing some value for a given category. That is how many charting 
packages depict BarCharts including JfreeChart etc. Also, for simple 
cases, one can plot date as categories.  Jasper was our original Charts 
designer/implementer, so correct me if I am wrong Jasper.
However, for what you would like to plot - two value axes based BarChart 
- would IMHO be a CustomBarChart - another subclass of XYChart. I think 
JFreeChart calls it a XYBarChart, if I am right. Sorry, we do not have 
one such implementation at this point.

thanks,
Paru.
