[Matplotlib-users] axis label placement

[Mark E. <ma...@st...>]

Hi,

I've spent a while searching for the answer to this, and I'm at the 
point of giving up... but it seems like it should be easy.

If I have axis labels with line returns in them, they end up 
overlapping with the plot area and other elements in the figure.  Is 
there a way to change their placement to move them away from the plot?  
Is there a way to define the area occupied by a subplot to include the 
axis labels and titles such that multiple subplots do not have 
overlapping text?  (This is related to another question I just posted, 
but I tried to separate these issues for easier referencing by others 
later on).

Thanks,
Mark
