dojox/charting/plot2d/Inidicator.js label position broken

[Arunas Ruksnaitis]

Line 455: text position "middle". Should be this.opt.start ? "start":"end"

At the moment the label is clipped at the start or at the end, depending on positioning, unless offset is specified, in which case one has to manually calculate the offset, and the labels still look rubbish because they are rendered aligned to the middle.

The above patch makes the labels hug the left or the right margin respectively, and they auto-size nicely.

​Pull request #176 submitted. Note that the comment at the top references #11299, which is allegedly implemented. I have tried to use label.getBoundingBox() instead of getBoundingBox(label); it is broken on MSIE so I had to reinstate the original code. Also note that getBoundingBox() returns zeroes if the chart is rendered in a hidden node, so a) the background box is not rendered until the chart is refreshed while visible, and b) top labels in vertical indicator are half-clipped initially regardless of the compensating offset I have added.

Note that because it changes behavior a bit, I'm not sure if this should be backported.

Perhaps no backporting. If people had used offset option to compensate for this defect, their code will no longer work as expected.
