Chart Rotation and Custom Axis Domain

[godsamit]

I'm baffled by the interaction between chart rotation and custom axis domain. I understand that xDomain is global and needs to be set in Settings, while y domain can be directly set in the Axis component.

Imagine I have a normal xy-chart but now I want to flip it 90 degrees. If I do it by the rotation prop in Settings, the domain I set on y axis will stop working, because elastic chart will interpret it as xDomain, and demand me to put it in Settings instead. I'd assume the rotation would only affect presentation, not the internal charting logic.

This wouldn't be as much of a problem if domain on Axis and xDomain on Settings are the same type. But they are not. So things like fit, padding wouldn't work on xDomain.

What's more, I can't really "rotate" by switching x/y accessors and flip the axes, since elastic charts enforce that y values to be numeric.

Sorry for the delayed response...

Yes, these are great points and perfectly valid criticisms of the API. I have run into the same issues myself. Ideally the Axis is independent of the rotation. This behavior has existed for some time now, and has become unprioritized tech debt.
