Hi, I'm trying to rotate the category axis labels so they appear like the attached mockup.  Please let me know how I can achieve this.

Thanks,

Have a look at categoryAxis.labels.rotation: http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/dataviz/ui/chart#configuration-categoryAxis.labels.rotation

 

categoryAxis: [{
    labels: {
      rotation: -45    
    }
}]

The angle is correct, but the rotation is happening around the middle of the label, not the "tail" of the label. For 3 items in the series and very short labels this is not a problem, but once you get several series items and the labels are very long, it becomes difficult to understand which series item the label is associated with.

How can I have the labels rotate around the tail of the label and still have them rotated at this angle?

Hello,

This is an old issue that we've meant to fix for some time now. The good news is that the Q2 Beta release coming tomorrow addresses it.

We didn't change the behavior in the service releases as it's a breaking change.

Let me know what you think about the new behavior.
