Hello, I have this bar chart horizontal:

The result of the break down by is not centered to the application name/too small. Is it possible to make it centered vertically to each application name?  
(like this but color coded)

With the normal bar chart for each bucket a "slot" is reserved for each `application_category.keyword` bar, even when empty.  
Can you use a stacked horizontal bar chart instead? That will center the bar on each bucket.
