| * Use the extra labelpad parameter to move the label closer (negative value) to the axis or farther (positive value): e.g. ''my_plot.set_xlabel('A closer label', labelpad=-20'' | * Use the extra labelpad parameter to move the label closer (negative value) to the axis or farther (positive value): e.g. ''my_plot.set_xlabel('A closer label', labelpad=-20'') |
