How to adjust axis label offsets?

Hello,

Can someone point me to how to change the axis label offsets in Python? Sorry this was wasn’t immediately obvious from the documentation.

Thanks

Here’s a link to the documentation for adjust y-axes:

Take note of the section referencing multiple y-axes. Here, you’ll see position in the dictionaries for the y-axis layout. By adjusting this value (scale of 0-1), you can move the axes around.

Thanks for the reply!

I tried using ‘position’ and it looks like it helps moving the whole axis, with labels and ticklabels, from left (0) to right (1) in case of a y-axis. However, the issue I am facing is that when I increase the y-axis label size, it overlaps the axis ticklables. So is there was a way to offset just the label text, without the ticklabels, further to the left of a y-axis leaving the ticklabels as it is?

It seems like this is not possible at the moment:

Oh that’s a bummer. Thanks anyway!

Any idea if this has become possible? Thank you!

Thanks for the link. I still cannot get what I’d like, for some reason. I understand position goes from 0-1. At 0, the y-axis labels are placed immediately adjacent to the first data point. I would like some gap (a few pixels perhaps) between the axis label and the first bar in my bar chart, for example. Can you please advise if this is possible?

Thanks
