Add "shading" as a feature just like "color by", "shape by" etc

I'd like to display as much info into one chart as possible. I mostly use bar charts at the moment. "Color by" is great to show in eg 1 stacked bar different components. But I would like to split up one bar section even more. Eg if you'd have a chart of nr of inhabitants by state by year, you could make a chart with the years on X-axis, and do a "color by" by state. I would also like to then split up each "state" further via shading to show eg male / female.

      Hugely important for Data Science and operational analytics with time series data. Shading should be able to apply to confidence intervals, error bars, etc.

      As a temporary solution, I found a hacky way to do this by drawing vertical lines over a range of data points that comes from a different data table.

    split axis, eg lift linear scale, right log scale

    This way, we would be able to plot our zero on the left part of the axis, on the right part of the axis, we would be able to plot the other values in a log scale. Right now, we are forced to exclude our 0 (which contains a lot of information so we...
