Description
Hi everyone,
I am using the original flavor of mplfinance and I am really struggling creating a simple HLC bar chart as below.
Does someone have an idea how this could be achieved?
When I fill the Open column with Close data, I will get the chart but lose the coloring. I hope I don't have to split up the date based on Open< Close and Open>Close and then draw 2 candlesticks, do I?
Thank you all in advance for the help.

Research direction
No file or test is named; start by reviewing mplfinance's existing OHLC and candlestick chart API and how chart styles are selected. Done means a classic western HLC bar chart can be produced from the supplied data without splitting rows by Open versus Close, while preserving the requested coloring.
