How to change space between axis and labels?

Hello,

There is an rcParams setting for this. You can set it in the matplotlibrc file, or directly in the script. For example,

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

plt.rc(('xtick.major', 'ytick.major'), pad=20)
plt.plot([1,2,3])
plt.show()

(If this fails because you don't have pyplot--you are using an older version of mpl--change the import line to "import pylab as plt".)
