Hi, there!

I'm trying to rotate the X Tick Label using CSS, but without sucess

This is my chart:

 ![chart_rotate](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/a/2af51eb5fac5030fe21425a083b7a3b9d006e24d.png)

And the expression:

> filters  
> | essql  
> query="SELECT acao, count(id\_do\_processo) AS conta FROM "mercado\_157\_processos"  
> WHERE NOT(acao IS null)  
> GROUP BY acao  
> ORDER BY conta DESC"  
> | staticColumn "total" value={math "sum(conta)"}  
> | mapColumn "percentual" fn={math "conta/total" | formatNumber "0.00%"}  
> | pointseries x="acao" y="conta" text="percentual" color="acao" size="acao"  
> | plot defaultStyle={seriesStyle bars="1" fill=1} palette={palette "#FFFF00" "#0000FF" gradient=true}  
> font={font family="Open Sans, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" size=10 align="center" color="#000000" weight="bold" underline=false italic=false} legend=false xaxis=true yaxis=true  
> | render  
> css=".flot-x-axis .flot-tick-label { white-space: nowrap; transform: translate(-9px, 0) rotate(-60deg); text-indent: -100%; transform-origin: top right; text-align: right !important;  
> }"

What am I doing wrong?

Version: Kibana 7.1.1

I was able to get _close_ to what you are requesting. You may be able to use this as a starting point:

```css
.flot-x-axis div {
    white-space: nowrap;
    transform: rotate(-90deg);
    text-indent: -100%;
    transform-origin: top center;
    text-align: right !important;
    top: 280px !important;
}

```

Thanks, Wylie! Yes, that's it!
