Jeffrey,

Sorry if the documentation is a bit vague on the _axinfo front.  It was
intentionally done that way to keep the number of people dependent upon
that kludge down.  It was created as an improvement upon the previous
hard-coded constants that completely prevented anybody from making any
customizations at all.

The spacing of tick labels for an axis can be modified like so:

ax.xaxis._axinfo['ticklabel']['space_factor'] = 0.7   # This is the default
value. Make it less to bring it closer to the axis

and for the axis label:

ax.xaxis._axinfo['label']['space_factor'] = 1.6  # Again, this is the
default value. Make it larger to move it away from the axis

I hope that helps!
Ben Root
