Rotation of labels is not supported in the annotations part of the API

[lookermagic]

Expected behaviour

annotations.labels objects (and/or annotations.labelOptions) to have a rotation property that rotates the text of the label similar to xAxis.labels.rotation.

Actual behaviour

No apparent way to rotate annotations labels from within the API

Product version

Highcharts v6.1.1

Hi @lookermagic,
The option is not available yet, so I marked your suggestion as an enhancement.

[lookermagic]

@sebastianbochan thanks kindly! We'll certainly be making use of it once it's made it in. Anything I can do to add urgency to this suggestion?

Hi @lookermagic,
We are developing new version of annotation and by callback it should be available. Please stay on track with out newsletter and this thread.

@sebastianbochan good to hear. We're using annotations pretty aggressively to fill gaps in the current default labels implementation, so the sooner the better.
