label adjustment near plot origin

Hi all,

I've a stubborn problem with labels near the origin of my pylab plots, where
the lowest tick label on the y-axis ends up touching the leftmost tick label
on the x-axis. Now, I can certainly tweak these manually with xticks and
yticks, but is there any automatic way to make this happen? More generally,
is there a way to specify "breathing room" distance between the first/last
tick mark and the beginning/end of the axis? Or to increase the distance
between label and tick mark?

Apologies if these are FAQs: I've looked everywhere I can think of at the
moment, and am now officially stuck :slight_smile:

Cheers,

Mike Sipior

Try increasing the tick.major.pad in your rc settings (and also tick.minor.pad
if needed).
