How can I manage advanced charting like changing line thickness in charts using Simple XML?

Hello,

I am trying to manage some advanced charting tasks. My main need is for some series of a chart to change the thickness of their line representation.

Seeing this:
http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.2.3/AdvancedDev/CustomChartingConfig-FontColorBrushPal...

As far as I understand, it is not (yet) possible in Simple XML (and so using JSchart), but it used to be possible by the past in flash charts, is that true?

Is there any other way to achieve this using css or anything else?

Thank you in advance.

Actually, Simple XML (as of 6.2) should support the same options.

<panel>
<chart>
    <.....>
    <option name="charting.backgroundColor">0xFFFFFF</option>
    </chart>
</panel>

Some additional interesting cases:

I think such things are still not possible in Simple xml, but it seems some hacks are possible at least in html

Thanks for answering.

Unfortunately it seems not, if you look at the doc i provided, almost every advanced option seems to be not supported in JS chatrt, which is why i ask.

In provided default system activity UI, the licence dashboard which in html uses some advanced charts like having the overlay in dotted line: (replace localhost:8000 as appropriated)

But its hard enough to find how this is achieved...
