In all column/bar chart visuals - please allow us to set a maximum width for columns which which should not be exceeded when drawing a chart, to prevent bars from getting too wide.


Current column charts behaviour is to always fill the entire space, no matter how many columns are there. It usually looks ok if there are multpiple columns, but if for example the filter selection results in only small number of columns being shown, the chart looks terrible - with large wide rectangle blocks filling the entire space. I think most of us would rather prefer to see nice elegant columns with some white space around them, rather than those horrible cube-like blocks filling the entire canvas.
