Rotated labels - bar chart

[sebastianbochan]

It looks like a rotation is buggy in HC 4.0.x and 3.0.10

HC: 3.0.10 - http://jsfiddle.net/SKRBW/1/
HC: 4.0.1 - http://jsfiddle.net/SKRBW/

Looks like we don't correctly compensate for the bounding box when it is rotated.

A workaround is to set the chart.marginLeft option sufficiently high to display the labels: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/SKRBW/2/

Alternative workaround:
If you don't need an axis title, you can use a transparent axis title to create space for the axis labels:

If you display the axis line and compare 3.x with 4.x you will see that the axis is drawn on exactly the same location. However, in the latest version the translation in the x-direction on the labels after rotation is different.

A workaround is setting an x translation on the labels to bring it back to the position it used to have. (I think it's a translation with the fontHeight you would need).

The breaking change from v3 to v4 is that the default x setting on left axis changed from -8 to -15. To preserve the looks from v3, set it back to -8: http://jsfiddle.net/SKRBW/6/

I think that this piece of code in getOffset is incomplete:

each(tickPositions, function (pos) {
   // left side must be align: right and right side must have align: left for labels
   if (side === 0 || side === 2 || { 1: 'left', 3: 'right'}[side] === axis.labelAlign) {

      // get the highest offset
      labelOffset = mathMax(
         ticks[pos].getLabelSize(),
         labelOffset
      );
   }
});

It doesn't take into account the label rotation: Rotated labels on the left axis that have align== right ARE rendered outside the plotArea

I ran into the same problem here: http://forum.highcharts.com/post109130.html#p109130

Looks properly with 4.1.8: http://jsfiddle.net/SKRBW/7/

Looks broken in 4.1.9: http://jsfiddle.net/SKRBW/9/
