Ok, so we're talking about a vertical axis. .
* For a vertical axis, by default the labels are vertically aligned
to the tick marks (center). For these, you can adjust the label
position (up/down) slightly with the labelAlign property; on the axis
tag. This still might not get you what you want though. Hard to tell
without seeing an image.
* For a horizontal axis, use the labelGap property on the axis tag to
move the label down; from the axis line.
* And, of course, you can always create your own axisRenderer. This
can get a little dicey though.
I'd try labelAlign before moving on to creating a custom axisRenderer. I
agree, the chart framework is a substantial step in a positive
direction. I think that Ely put it nicely here:
