Provide capability to supply x-axis labels on DojoBarChart

Currently, only y-axis values can be represented on a Dojo bar chart. (This is not a limitation of Dojo but a limitation of the EGL wrapper.) We would like to be able to label bars displayed by the DojoBarChart widget on the x axis.

In the current implementation a bar chart can be created in EGL as follows:
bgd BarGraphData[0];
bgd.appendElement(new BarGraphData{ value=123 } );
bgd.appendElement(new BarGraphData{ value=789 } );
bgd.appendElement(new BarGraphData{ value=456 } );
bgChart.data = bgd;

...the above is insufficient because it does not allow for each bar to be labeled on the x axis (the "value" specified is for the y axis).

We have created a custom implementation that extends the DojoBarChart capability to allow x axis labels. In our implementation we specify x axis labels as follows:
bgd BarGraphData[0];
bgd.appendElement(new BarGraphData{ value=123, text="Jan" } );
bgd.appendElement(new BarGraphData{ value=789, text="Feb" } );
bgd.appendElement(new BarGraphData{ value=456, text="Mar" } );
bgChart.data = bgd;

We would like to see this, or a similar capability, added to the EGL support for the Dojo bar chart.

    Due to processing by IBM, this request was reassigned to have the following updated attributes:
    Brand - Servers and Systems Software
    Product family - Programming Languages
    Product - Business Developer

    For recording keeping, the previous attributes were:

    We agree that this would be a good feature to add to the product. We will consider it in our future planning. However, we do not currently have a time frame for implementation.
