Place labels inside chart

[CalvinFernandez]

Is it possible to place labels inside chart the way they appear on the Y axis above? It seems like axis labels could support an 'inside' and 'outside' designation the same way they're implemented with ticks.

That's not possible at the moment unfortunately.

@CalvinFernandez I can turn this issue into a feature request if you like.

First, hi, I'm new to contributing so I wanted to run this idea by you if that's ok. I've created a basic implementation for this locally by adding a field in yaxis called ticklabelalignment which can be set to "inside" or "outside". If it is "inside" then you need to make some changes in axes.js (see image below).

This is similar to what you suggested in #883 for the tickanchor. It would not cover positioning the label above or below the tick though (#1882), its only for the horizontal alignment but we could do something similar for the vertical alignment. This seems to work well with left or right y-axis and subplots.
