Dear all, I have a quesstion about change the width of the ylabel.You know the width of the ylabel is relaete to the x axi,how can i change the width of the ylabel not depend on the width of the x-axis? Thank you! George

The height of the y-axis label text (which is then rotated 90 degrees) is dependent upon the font size, and should already be completely independent of the x-axis. Can you show some examples of what you mean? Ben Root
Hi Ben: I just do not know how to change the font size,could you tell me that? Thank you !

Here's a small example. You can either keep around the ylabel
from when you first create it:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
lbl = plt.ylabel("foo")
lbl.set_size(25)
If you already have the labels on an axes:
ax = plt.gca()
lbl = ax.yaxis.get_label()
lbl.set_size('x-small')
Note that ax.get_ylabel() only gets you the string of the
label, which is why you have to use ax.yaxis.get_label() to get
an instance of the matplotlib.text.Text object in order to change
its size.
hope that helps,
