Hello
I'd like to change yAxes label orientation and rotate it in 180deg.
How I can do it?
Thanks.

@etimberg is there any rotation option for scale labels? if not, should we consider a new feature?

I didn't find anything else other than commenting out the line rotation = isLeft ? -0.5 * Math.PI : 0.5 * Math.PI; in the source code. Now the label is horizontal as I wanted it. I assume you would have to replace the line with rotation = isLeft ? - Math.PI : Math.PI; to get your desired effect.

Thanks a lot,
but _rotation = -0.5 * Math.PI_ much better for me

There are minRotation and maxRotation fields for the x axes but nothing for y axes

@etimberg is there a rotation option for x axes labels but different for every label.

_Example:_ If you want to visualize the direction of the wind with an arrow icon.
The arrow I managed to do using fontIcons but cannot figure out how to rotate with a different degree the labels.
