Hello,

Is there an way to improve this or is there a github issue related to this:

The issue is when using a heat map is that its requiring more space to display values on the x axis. This is unfortunate as its requiring me to enlarge the visualization in order to see the x axis correctly.

Hi @erikg

I think this is a known heatmap issue. You can track it here: [Ability to rotate axis tick labels in heatmap · Issue #61248 · elastic/kibana · GitHub](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/61248)
