Bar charts

[BPLZ]

Can the bar thickness (in a bar chart) be related to a data series. This
would be particually useful when comparing a grade value for a mineral on the
main axis while relating the samples representative size or thickness to the
thickness of the bar. This could also be a plot of "depth" vs a value etc.
