May solve this problem by setting left argument a more large number manually.

Following is the effect of setting left: 80 in your example

Good catch, @cnwangjie. I think it would be great if MG could automatically detect when this sort of thing is necessary and do it automatically.

Yes. The tension we found was, many users expect the left to not automatically scale, especially if they're dealing with tons of graphs on a dashboard and are trying to get the design right. There doesn't really seem to be a paradigm that works 100% for everyone without some design tweaking or margin-nudging. I'd be open to changing this priority, but this was one thing we found when we were first making MG.

The solution would probably be to do it automatically unless left is set. Usually if you're obsessively tweaking an MG graph (like I am) you're setting left anyway.
