Description

Hello,

I'm asking if there is a possibility to custom the bars with the BarChart.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm actually implementing a BarChart and I got some frustrating things about customisation. Everything is flat.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to customize only one of the bars, like in my barChart, every bar's green but the bar with the highest value has to be yellow to highlight it with something like set.getYMax().setColor('yellow'). And also be able to implement a border-radius on the bars to make them rounded. Implement a shadow around them to make it less flat

Describe alternatives you've considered
For the shadow I tried to use set.setBarShadowColor('red') but it look likes that it doesn't work or maybe I misunderstood something.

It's small details but it would make the plugin more valuable, maybe I missed something and it's already implemented but It's kinda hard to find doc about it

Thanks
