Expose ax.yaxis.labelpad and ax.xaxis.labelpad to the rc file #2907
Description
While trying to change the gap between the axis title and the tick labels I found this thread:
http://matplotlib.1069221.n5.nabble.com/Distance-between-axis-and-axis-label-td1181.html
Where it is explained that using:
ax.xaxis.labelpad
ax.yaxis.labelpad
One can adjust this gap. It works perfectly, but the problem is that I have to add some lines in everycode I need this adjustment. I tried to include in my maplotlibrc file these two lines and it gives:
Bad key "ax.yaxis.labelpad" on line 247 in
...\.matplotlib\matplotlibrc.
You probably need to get an updated matplotlibrc file from
http://matplotlib.sf.net/_static/matplotlibrc or from the matplotlib source
distribution
