increase the margin between axis titles and tick labels in matplotlib in python

To increase the margin between axis titles and tick labels in matplotlib, you can adjust the pad parameter of the set_label_coords method.

Here's an example:

main.py
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Create a figure and axis
fig, ax = plt.subplots()

# Set the axis labels
ax.set_xlabel('X-axis', labelpad=10)
ax.set_ylabel('Y-axis', labelpad=20)

# Adjust the margin between axis titles and tick labels
ax.xaxis.labelpad = 30
ax.yaxis.labelpad = 40

# Plot your data
# ...

# Show the plot
plt.show()
337 chars
19 lines

In this example, labelpad is used to adjust the margin between the axis title and the tick labels. You can change the value of labelpad to increase or decrease the margin as needed.

Note that set_label_coords is used to set the label coordinates explicitly which allows more control over the positioning of the axis labels.

Hope this helps!
