New chart type

I want to present my data in a chart that is completely
of my own design - not a bar chart or pie chart, etc,
something other than the standard chart types. Does Excel
allow me to design my own totally new chart type. I'm not
talking about formating options for existing chart types,
I'm talking about a whole new chart design and
presentation paradigm for my data other than the ones
provided with Excel.

Thanks,

Darryl

There are *many* visual representations that one can create from the
creative use of various XL/VBA capabilities in conjunction with
existing charting elements. However, if your presentation paradigm is
completely alien to whatever program you use, your intent, by
definition, constitutes a fundamental impossibility.

To get an idea of what's possible within the framework of Excel charts,
