Wrapping Labels in Visualizations

Is there a way to wrap the text in the visualizations like bar charts and heatmaps, for the axis labels?

In the data labels section of the formatting pane, scroll right to the end and change layout from single-line to multi-line

That seems to only be for the data labels, not the axis labels. I blacked out the actual labels for privacy reasons but you can see the elipses where the labels are too long for the charts.
