2.5 Chart Widget problem.

Question

I just migrated to 2.5, and would love to be able to use the chart widget, but it appears to have a very limited functionality unless I am missing something.

Robert's previous chart widget could support multiple fields, i.e. the following table could make a chart with two slices, Male (400) and Female (425):

State, Male, Female
CA, 200, 250
AZ, 100, 75
NV, 100, 100

The new chart widget appears to only work with a single field. This means that same table could only produce a pie chart where a single field is chosen with the following three slices, e.g. for males: CA (200),  AZ (100), NV (100).

This invalidates all the charting I do. Is it possible to derive the top Male/Female example with charting widget 2.5? If not, when will this obviously necessary functionality be added?
