dojox.charting: chart hides borders of parent div container/ charting area

[Paul Christopher]

Description

Parts of the charting area's border are hidden by the chart:

Steps to reproduce the issue

Change dojox/charting/tests/test_rotatedLabels.html and simply add a border to <div id="test1"> like so:

<div id="test1" style="width: 600px; height: 400px; border: 5px solid #000;"></div>

Run the test case. This gives the results shown in the above screenshot (tested IE9, FF15).

Workaround

You need to wrap the charting area in another div and give that div a border.

Yes I think Charting should use contentBox instead of marginBox as it does now to size itself. This would avoid this issue. As this would be slightly incompatible I would however think about waiting for 2.0 to do that. In particular as the workaround is an easy one.

Given that no one has shown interest in creating a patch in the past 3+ years, I'm closing this as patchwelcome.
