Add a new property: `PROPS.xAxes.0.appearance.labels.rotation` Enter a numeric value in degrees (but just the numbers). Positive number rotates clockwise. See [AxisLabel – amCharts 4 Documentation](https://www.amcharts.com/docs/v4/reference/axislabel/) for the full list. * * * Can you edit your question to include the _Perspective_ tag. It might help someone else find this answer. ---
