Recently I tried to animate the columns of a column-chart for using it with
impress. The idea was to let each column grow from the charts baseline e.g
column 1: 0% to 23% then column 2: 0% to 44% and so on. 
Unfortunately I found out that one has to build the columns by using some basic
shapes directly ot of impress. The only way for animation is to animate the
whole chart (e.g. fade-in effect) but this is only effect and not really
psychological usefull.
So i'd like to suggest the idea of animated colums and bars (growin, fading),
pies (growing clockwise) etc. which is afaik possible in Harvard Presentation.
Is this already planned? Could'nt find something like this.
