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.
