I think there is something on the contributor section of the rev site for 2D
charts. I personally find it easier to create my own charts when the need
arises. You should be able to do 3D look bar charts fairly easily but it is
a matter starting from scratch abd building it up with graphical elements.
On the plus site you have complete control ;-)

I think rev 2.0 will have improved db features. How much data are we talking
about?

I have a chart in one app that manipulates 7000 - 10000 records fast enough
to use a slider to change a parameter and redraw. You can store data quite
efficiently using custom properties.
