Bar_Chart class missing "name" field in self.data to show legend of multi-series bar chart

Hi,

Have always been enjoying your work so far but your bar_chart missing name field to show legend:

class BarChart(Widget):
    def __init__(self, data=None, x_axis_labels=None,
                 x_axis_type=None, y_axis_format=None, y_axis_unit=None,
                 *args, **kwargs):
        super(BarChart, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.data = []
        self.x_axis_labels = x_axis_labels
        self.x_axis_type = x_axis_type
        self.y_axis_format = y_axis_format
        self.y_axis_unit = y_axis_unit

        if data is not None:
            self.add_data(data=data)

    def add_data(self, data, *args, **kwargs):
        self.data.append(
            {
                "data": data
            }
        )

would be better if you could update them as:

class BarChart(Widget):
    def __init__(self, data=None, name = None, x_axis_labels=None,
                 x_axis_type=None, y_axis_format=None, y_axis_unit=None,
                 *args, **kwargs):
        super(BarChart, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.data = []
        self.name  = '' ''
        self.x_axis_labels = x_axis_labels
        self.x_axis_type = x_axis_type
        self.y_axis_format = y_axis_format
        self.y_axis_unit = y_axis_unit

        if data is not None:
            self.add_data(data=data)

    def add_data(self, data, name, *args, **kwargs):
        self.data.append(
            {
                "data": data
            }
        )
      self.name =  name

Text for 2x2 number and secondary stat widget

The docs say:

For a 2 x 2 widget you can show a label next to the primary value. For a 1 x 1 if you exclude a number from the second item you can specify a text label instead.

However, I get the following error when I push to a 2x2 number and secondary stat widget:
GeckoboardException: Widget accepts text or a secondary value only.
Shouldn't the text be accepted?

Now accepting issues

If you run into any bugs, have any feature requests, or questions, please open up an issue and I'll get to them as soon as possible!

Datasets API Support

There has been a request for support for the new Datasets API.

The new API allows developers to create and delete a schema and push data to it so a user can build visualizations using a data set instead of pushing data directly to a specific widget.

This issue will be documenting support for this new feature.
