Description
This seems to go back pretty long:
Adjusting the label position of a 3d axes using ax.y_axis.labelpad = 5 for example does not work.
Here's an example:
import matplotlib as mpl
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
mpl.rcParams['legend.fontsize'] = 10
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
theta = np.linspace(-4 * np.pi, 4 * np.pi, 100)
z = np.linspace(-2, 2, 100)
r = z**2 + 1
x = r * np.sin(theta)
y = r * np.cos(theta)
ax.plot(x, y, z, label='parametric curve')
ax.legend()
ax.set_xlabel('TEST LABEL')
ax.xaxis.labelpadding = 5
plt.show()
