Resolve each axis to a plot edge and an outward sign so `axis.side` can move the line, stubs, tick labels, title, and crosshair value label to the opposite edge. Automatic margins follow the placement, and an unset side keeps the existing scene output.

Correct the RTL axis.side documentation in both copies.
The prose uses side as though it were a valid value. Use side: 'end' and hyphenate y-axis and x-axis.

Closes #87.
Why
Arabic, Hebrew, and Farsi read right to left, and in those locales the value
axis belongs on the right. That is not a stylistic preference: the reading eye
starts at the right edge, so a left-hand value axis puts the scale behind the
data instead of in front of it.
@tanstack/chartshad no lever for it.ChartAxisPresentationOptionscoveredthe line, ticks, tick labels, and title, but never the placement, so the y axis
always resolved against the left plot edge.
x.reversealready orderedcategories right to left, which made the axis the single remaining element
pointing the wrong way.
The usual workarounds are not workarounds.
transform: scaleX(-1)on thecontainer mirrors the marks and the tick text and breaks pointer hit-testing.
direction: rtlon the host changes nothing, because placement is resolvedduring layout rather than by the browser.
We hit this migrating a bilingual production dashboard off Recharts, which
covers the case with
<YAxis orientation="right" />. Everything else about themigration was an improvement, so we shipped the Arabic locale with a knowingly
misplaced axis. This patch is the fix for that, written so the same option
serves anyone who wants a right-hand or top axis in any locale.
@Thom-ASM pointed at
scene.tsin the issue thread, which was the right placeto start.
API
ChartAxisSideis'start' | 'end'rather than physical literals. The y axisreads
startas left andendas right; the x axis readsstartas bottom andendas top. One spelling covers both dimensions, composes with the existingreverse, and keeps a right-to-left chart to a single flag per axis rather thana per-axis vocabulary the caller has to memorize.
sidedefaults tostart, so every existing chart is untouched.Implementation
axisPlacement()resolves each axis once into a plot edge and an outward sign,and every coordinate derives from that pair: the axis line, the tick stubs, the
tick labels and their default anchor, the title with its rotation, and the
crosshair value label. No site branches on the side on its own.
Two things fell out of the existing design rather than needing new code:
gutter moves to the other edge on its own.
all twelve packages follow without a change.
The crosshair is included because it is the other half of a placed axis. Its
value labels are resolved outside
createAxes, soSceneFocusGuideAxiscarriesthe side and the resolver derives the same placement from the guide's own plot
bounds.
Compatibility
sideis optional and defaults to the current behavior. A test asserts that anexplicit
'start'produces a scene node tree identical to an unset side, sothis is provably inert for existing charts rather than only intended to be.
Verification

Two notes on the baselines
The comparison bundle baseline is refreshed in its own commit, following the
existing convention. Competitor measurements reproduced byte for byte, and only
the TanStack entries, the input digest, and the timestamp move.
benchmarks/bundle-size/universal-baseline.jsonis deliberately notrefreshed. It already mismatches on unmodified
mainin my environment, so Icould not separate a real delta from local drift and did not want to lock in
numbers measured on my laptop. For the record, the placement code adds roughly
190 B gzip to the React adapter here. Say the word and I will include the
refresh, or leave it to a maintainer run.
