JavaScript/jQuery PolarChart - argumentAxis.label

Specifies properties for argument axis labels.

Axis labels represent textual values for axis ticks, which are not visible by default. To specify custom settings for the argument axis labels, use the label configuration object. To set a common value for labels on all axes, use the commonAxisSettings.label configuration object. This object exposes the properties that can be specified for labels on all axes at once. Note that values specified for the argument axis individually (in the argumentAxis.label object) override values that are specified for all axes (in the commonAxisSettings.label object).
