textRotationAngle 270 and IE8

[Glen EdwardsParticipant]

Hi

I have been trying to get the textRotationAngle in IE8 to work at 270 If I set it to 90 it works but 270 does not seem to work for me. It works fine in Chrome and FireFox which I am assuming are in SVG, but can’t see to get it to work in IE8 (which I am assuming is using VML)

In the jqxChart Column Series Example I added the textRotationAngle

This will rotate

categoryAxis:
                    {
                        dataField: 'Day',
                        showGridLines: true,
			textRotationAngle: 90
                    },

This will not rotate

categoryAxis:
                   {
                        dataField: 'Day',
                        showGridLines: true,
			textRotationAngle: 270
                    },

Not the end of the world as 90 is working, just curious to know if this is a known limitation (or an error/misunderstanding on my side)

Thanks

Glen

Hi Glen,

Such textRotation angle is not supported in IE8 due to browser restrictions in the text rendering.

you may try setting it to -90 instead of 270.
