Focus on a few useful features and couple things for making your column charts nicer 🙂

Features

Chart types – stacked, clustered and nested types of charts at your disposal
Difference types – ability to compare either column totals or specific data values when legend is applied
Totals for clustered chart – you can use both data values for individual columns and totals for all columns in one cluster

Look & Feel

Icons – you can choose from multiple icons to illustrate your data in columns with formatting options like background shape, size, color, … *)
Column corners rounding – select from 3 sizes of rounding and full cirle rounding
Animations – slow or fast animations and completely without animations

Bug fixing

Better handling of values with specific formatting (currency, etc.)
