Turn the date on a graph

I have a graph that is showing data by date over the last 30 days. I have converted timeformat down to "%m/%d. Even with this small date format it is hard to read the date when I squash 30 days on the chart. I would also like to show the "%a" short day format so people can see the weekend days.

My question is how to I turn the date on the x axis so it is printed vertically rather that horizontally so it is more readable?

To rotate the labels, in the advanced xml you could add the following parameter to HiddenChartFormatter module

<param name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.rotation">90</param>

This might not be supported in JSChart.

My previous suggestion did not work, because JSChart was used by simplified xml.

Please try the following where you will get flash based chart :

in case that you are using simplified xml that line would be

90

so try this:
