Fan Charts - allow sideways text

Overview
In V5 fan charts were introduced. FHUG members noted that after generation 5 the text became hard to read.
This wish is to have an option to make the text rotated by 90° where desired.

Problem
After generation 5 of a fan chart, the text is difficult to read.

Proposed Solution
Have an option to swap from the current text which is at right angles to the centre
(on an arc - let's call it horizontal), to one which is at 180°
(aligned with the radius, lets call it vertical) at an optional generation (4?5?6?)
and remain that thereafter.

shows an example, but only caters for 5 generations.

You can do that for yourself now, just using the editing tools. Although it might be easier if the automatic program did it.
