As far as I am aware, you cannot do this directly from Lire; currently the
only configurable parameter with respect to charts is "lr_chart_font" to
select a different font. However, since Lire invokes ploticus as a command
line utility, you can configure ploticus' behaviour through an external
configuration file. For example, to create a chart with green background,
blue text and red bars, put the following in a file:
	option: -color blue
	option: -backcolor green
	varvalue: color=red
and make this file known to ploticus through the environment variable
PLOTICUS_CONFIG:
	PLOTICUS_CONFIG=/absolute/path/to/file
	export PLOTICUS_CONFIG
before running Lire as usual.

By the way, the graph type (bars, pie, histogram etc.) *is* configured
directly within Lire, through the "charttype=" parameter in the report
description.

Uhm, de-aggregating the data ... I'm not quite sure how you could do that.
Perhaps a filter expression (as described in the Lire Developer's Manual,
Chapter 11, Lire Report Specification Markup Language) could be of some use,
but I have no experience with applying that.
