CategoryAxis - Label Position Padding based on 0 Axis

[Neal]

Hello,

I'm using the Kendo Charts with a category axis to provide additional labels to our charts. I'm attempting to push the labels to the top of the graph using the padding attribute on the labels and that's working fine when the chart starts at 0.

However, once the chart goes into negative values this offset is no longer working. It appears that the padding is being applied at the position of the 0 line rather than the base of the chart. 

Is there a way to calculate or determine where that 0 axis line is located to adjust the offset appropriately?

Hi Neal,

In order to keep categoryAxis labels always on top (no matter what series values are) I would suggest the following approach: 
- Define two category axes and hide the first one;
- Set valueAxis.axisCrossingValue [0, Infinity].
I updated the example to illustrated the above approach in action - please check it and let me know if this fits the current requirements.
