Creating multi-line x-tick labels with nPlot #399

Is there an easy way to make the x-tick labels multiline? Adding the '\n' character doesn't seem to work.

require(rCharts)
d <- data.frame(list(x="label1\nline2", y=4))
nPlot(y="y", x="x", data=d, type='discreteBarChart')

It is possible to do this using some d3 wizardry after the chart has been created. I will try to figure out how it can be easily inserted in the nvd3 plot created straight from rCharts instead of having to modify the HTML file afterwards.

Hi Ramanth, Have you had a chance to look at this issue yet? I found this example of axis label wrapping for nvd3, but I'm not familiar enough with d3 to implement this. Cheers Jonathan
