Categories Axis margin not working with label rotation

[fbaptiste]

I have the following simplified scenario of a column chart set with both margin and rotation for the category axis labels: 

$("#chart").kendoChart({
  categoryAxis: [{
    labels: {
      margin: {
        right: 150,
        top: -75
      },
      rotation: 270
    },
    categories: ["2011", "2012", "2013"]
  }],
  series: [{
    data: [1, 2, 3]
  }]
});

this is working as expected on earlier kendo version 2014 Q1 SP2 but not on the latest. in which the right margin does not seem to be working as expected.

a demo for this can be seen here: http://dojo.telerik.com/OmEti.

i guess this is a bug but i'm not sure if there might be another way to achieve the same result..

We are hitting this issue in our application as well.  Has this been fixed in the latest release yet?

Hi Craig,

To move the labels you could use top padding. Take a look at this example.

Padding does work where margin does not in this case.  Thanks for the tip.
