Is there a way to create floating bar, range column, or gantt charts?

I figured out a way to simulate this type of chart thanks to the answer to another charting related question.

I defined my own brush pallet. There are only two brushes in the pallet. The first one has an alpha transparency value of 0 (transparent). The second brush has the color for the "floating" bar.

<module name="HiddenChartFormatter"> <param name="charting.chart">bar</param> <param name="charting.chart.stackMode">stacked</param> <param name="charting.axisTitleX.text">milliseconds</param> <param name="charting.axisTitleY.text"></param> <param name="charting.legend.placement">none</param> <param name="charting.b1">solidFill</param> <param name="charting.b1.alpha">0</param> <param name="charting.b2">solidFill</param> <param name="charting.b2.color">0x0033CC</param> <param name="charting.b2.alpha">1.0</param> <param name="charting.myBrushPalette">list</param> <param name="charting.myBrushPalette.brushes">[@b1,@b2]</param> <param name="charting.chart.barBrushPalette">@myBrushPalette</param> <module name="FlashChart" /> </module>

This chart is designed to render a table with three columns. The first will be some series of data, the second an offset, and the third a duration. Refer to the following:

action	offset	duration
A	0	95
B	8	39
C	13	32
D	29	13
E	31	11
F	36	2

I can't provide a picture of the rendered chart because I don't yet have enough karma. I'll edit this answer in the future with a picture of the chart.
