How to control space between ylabel and yaxis (Was: how to control space between ylabel and yticklabel?)

I think LABELPAD is the padding between the label and the tick.
What I would like to control is the distance between the label and the y-axis itself.
This is desired when you do multiple subplots and you want all ylabels to align nicely; they may differ

depending on the numbers along the yticks.

Any ways to control this?

Thanks, Mark

This should help:

gca().yaxis.LABELPAD=20 # or the value you like
