Can we turn on the Data Values in order to see the exact number of in chart visualizations?

In the chart visualization we can turn on the Data Values in order to see the exact number however when plotting 1 month worth of data these numbers can get tight when displaying a 4 or 5 digit data set. I’m looking for a way to rotate the data set (like I have it on the X-axis) to that I may not have to worry about it so much. At this point I’m not sure if I want it at a 45, 90 or some other degree angle but I want to have the option to change that. My guess is that it is somewhere using the CSS selector with rotate option I don’t know what to edit/modify to get the chart to perform this change.

@vreddy28, you can use CSS Style override for Data Label text rotation using following CSS Selector where chart id is #chartWithRotatedDataLabel.

#chartWithRotatedDataLabel svg g.highcharts-data-labels g text{
     transform: translateY(20px)rotate(-90deg)
}

Following is a run anywhere dashboard to flip Data Label Orientation between Horizontal and Vertical.

alt text
Following is the Simple XML Dashboard code:

<form>
  <label>Chart Data Label Rotate</label>
  <fieldset submitButton="false"></fieldset>
  <row depends="$alwaysHideCSSPanel$">
    <panel>
      <html>
        <style>
          #chartWithRotatedDataLabel svg g.highcharts-data-labels g text{
              transform: $tokDataLabelRotation$ !important;
          }
        </style>
      </html>
    </panel>
  </row>
  <row>
    <panel>
      <input type="radio" token="tokDataLabelRotation" searchWhenChanged="true">

@james_n I could not get this to work on Internet Explorer. This is more of a CSS question rather than Splunk capability for IE. I event tried the following CSS for all browser and it worked on Chrome, Edge, Firefox but not on IE 😞

       #chartWithRotatedDataLabel svg g.highcharts-data-labels g text{
           transform: $tokDataLabelRotation$ !important;
          -ms-transform: $tokDataLabelRotation$ !important;
          -webkit-transform: $tokDataLabelRotation$ !important;
          -moz-transform: $tokDataLabelRotation$ !important;
          -o-transform: $tokDataLabelRotation$ !important;
       }
