TextLabGap(axis) - Spacing of descriptive axis labels

Description:

This attribute controls the appearance of annotated axes by determining where descriptive axis labels are placed relative to the axes they describe. It takes a separate value for each physical axis so that, for instance, the setting "TextLabGap(2)=0.01"  specifies where the descriptive label for the second axis should be drawn.

For each axis, the TextLabGap value gives the spacing between the descriptive label and the edge of a box enclosing all other parts of the annotated grid (excluding other descriptive labels). The gap is measured to the nearest edge of the label (i.e. the top or the bottom). Positive values cause the descriptive label to be placed outside the bounding box, while negative values cause it to be placed inside.

The TextLabGap value should be given as a fraction of the minimum dimension of the plotting area, the default value being $+0.01$.

Type:

Floating point.

Notes:

• If drawn, descriptive labels are always placed at the edges of the plotting area, even although the corresponding numerical labels may be drawn along axis lines in the interior of the plotting area (see the Labelling  attribute).

• If no axis is specified, (e.g. TextLabGap instead of TextLabGap(2)), then both axes are affected.
