D3BulletCharts - QlikView Extension

D3BulletCharts is a QlikView object extension based on the famous D3 JavaScript charting library.

Motivation

If you install QlikView you'll find an extension example called "Bullet Chart" with a basic implementation to integrate bullet charts in QlikView.

While this kind of visualization (based on a concept created by Stephen Few) is quite famous this extension here offers some more functionality based on a piece of code I have found on bl.ocks.org.
