How to rotate labels in ValueAxis or DateAxis

[peterkronenberg]

I"ve got a time series chart and I want to be able to rotate the labels like this

I found this post from many years ago, https://www.jfree.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25189, which seems to work, but the problem is that it eliminates the axis label. Here the before and after

Note the x-axis is labeled Date

After applying the new code, I get this

The axis label is missing.

Is there a better solution?

DateAxis relies on the parent's isVerticalTickLabels() to reserve space for the axis label. I suspect your custom tick labels are simply covering the axis label. What happens if you enable vertical tick labels?

Works the same with and without isVerticalTickLabels(). Also looked to see if there was some padding option, but couldn't find anything

I've posted a reference example here.
