Streamline common operations
Hi,

Kendo DataViz is getting awesome, but I always feel that some (albeit) common operations are made very complicated. I know there is some compatibility that must be assured but I some point the usage would be much better. Here are some common operations that are currently quite unintuitive:


* Reverse the order of an axis: reversing the order of an axis (so that values are on the right of the chart instead of the left), must currently be done by setting a very high "axisCrossingValue" (wtf?), as shown here: http://jsbin.com/iyiqec/1/edit?html,css,js,output

This definitely sounds like a hack and the wrong solution to the problem. A simple labelAlignment (left / right) would be far more intuitive.

* Being able to draw all points but still use baseUnitStep to "auto": let's say I have a chart with a lot of points. This means you need to use baseUnitStep to "auto". However, a bad consequence is that it now renders only the point for each step computed after baseUnitStep. This is often not the expected behaviour and, while drawing less labels, I often still want to display all the points (or more points). Currently, the super complicated way is to use the obscure "categoryAxes" property, make sure that one axis is hidden (but will be assigned the point), and other one is set to baseUnitStep auto, as shown here: http://dojo.telerik.com/@germanov/ULUGi

Maybe a simpler "valuesStep" option that would allow to override the step for values, independently of the category axis, could be introduced.

Thanks!
