Summary:                    SetOrientation doesn't work for the vtkTextProperty
of vtkAxis
Description: 
Using default settings for a vtkChartXY and trying to set the Y axis orientation
vertically, I've been unable to make this happen.  A perfect example of what I
want can be found here:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Plotting/LinePlot

Using the source code from that link (exactly as is) produces the chart
correctly but the Y axis label is oriented horizontally.  i.e. it doesn't look
like the image at the link.  Placing the following line seems like it should
work (given that it works for all other vtkTextProperty props) but it does not:
"chart->GetAxis(0)->GetTitleProperties()->SetOrientation(90.0);"

Steps to Reproduce: 
Source code link, example and modification given.

Additional Information: 
using version 5.6.1 (release version), C++, VS2008 and 2010
