Why don't you implement a poll with suggested enhancements like the
guys from multicharts have done for their platform (see
http://forum.tssupport.com/viewtopic.php?t=6072)
This would save you precious time and let AB users express their own
proposal in a simple way.

needed to make it happen. Someone has to write the suggestions and
look for support of the discussions or nothing will happen if it does
not happen right away. A number of critical additions were made to
the charting features and some bug fixes by TJ last year through this
process, and others were left for later consideration. If the ones
left over are not on the suggestions list, then they may be lost and
forgotten when TJ goes looking through the list for the next thing to
do.

should have an AB-Charting board for the chartists.
