I know correctly understand your problem, but I don't know how to fix
it. It seems you need a pad setting for the distance from the axis
label to the tick mark labels, but I don't see one in the rc file.
Anyone else?

sorry, I don't know how to post a png to the mailinglist. Do I just
have to attach it to my response? Anyway, the below code generates a
plot that reproduces my problem. The y-axis label is to close to the
y-axis tick labels (though not overlapping). I would like to shift the
y-axis label further away from the y-axis tick labels.

I am confused as to what the problem is. Are you saying that your
axis label is running into you tick label? Can you post a little
piece of a png showing the problem you are trying to solve?

thanks. But this merely changes the distance between ticks and tick
labels. The distance between tick labels and axis label stays
constant. To be more precise about what I need (my first e-mail was a
bit ambigous...sorry): I need to change the distance between tick
labels and the axis label.
Thanks.

Yes I understand the solution I try it, it work but the problem comes
with when I try text() function of pylab that does'nt exist in
matplotlib.<br>
I think it's to much work for me to rewrite functions that are in pylab
and not in matplotlib.<br>
I am a newbie and I don't care to not write programs in pure pytonic
style.<br>
from pylab import * is good for me.<br>
<br>
I solve my first problem by changing in matplotlibrc :<br>
backends&nbsp;&nbsp; :&nbsp;&nbsp; GTKAgg<br>
the mix of TKAgg and GTK (my main windows) did not worked in fact.<br>
<br>
But I don't want to change the matplotlibrc for each user so I want to
do this in the code.<br>
Also in ipython in GTKAgg doesn't work for me.<br>
I tryed in my code :<br>
from pylab import *<br>
rcParams['backends']= 'GTKAgg'<br>
but it failed<br>
<br>
thanks<br>

Pylab is for interactive use. See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/interactive.html">http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/interactive.html</a>
for a discussion of the issues.
So if you can create your figures ahead of time and just 
load them, that's fine. But if you want to create them
on the fly, you should use Matplotlib's OO functionality.
Maybe the function below will be a bit helpful for
getting started. (Caution: it's a novices effort.)

Christian,
Insert
rcParams['tick.major.pad'] = 12
as the third line in your script, or change the value in your 
matplotlibrc file.

Hi,
I am a new user of matplotlib (0.82; python 2.3.5). So far I have
used supermongo (sic!) to produce figures for physics journal articles
and talks. I am trying to get up to speed with matplotlib to do the
same kind of plots with an open source package.
For talks I like to prepare eps figures which I embed in my latex-based
slides. For slides, huge font sizes are a must, hence I like to use
large fonts for tick mark labels and axis labels. My problem: For the
axis labels, matplolib (or the PS backend?) is apparently not
adjusting (or rather: under-adjusting) the distance between axis and
axis label.
Is there a way to adjust the distance between an axis and its label?
If not, then where in the code is the distance calculated, scaled and
set? I have dug through the code, but could not find it due
to lack of object-oriented programming experience, I guess.
Here is an example of what I mean. The x-axis labels comes out
sort of okay, but the y-axis label is to close to the y axis.
#!/usr/bin/python
from pylab import *
from matplotlib import rcParams
plot([1,2,3,4], [1,4,9,16], 'ro')
xlabel("something",size=3D30)
ylabel("something else",size=3D30)
xlabels =3D getp(gca(), 'xticklabels')
setp(xlabels, size=3D25)
ylabels =3D getp(gca(), 'yticklabels')
setp(ylabels, size=3D25)
savefig("testplot.eps")
Note that playing around with 'axes' did not help - it has
no influence on the distance between labels and axes.
Help & comments much appreciated! Thanks!
 - Christian
