You can use 'LABELPAD' to adjust label position. e.g. import pylab hAxes = pylab.axes() pylab.xlabel('test') hAxes.xaxis.LABELPAD = 0 pylab.show() -- Yong-Duk Jin On Tuesday 28 April 2009 14:08:50 Thomas Robitaille wrote: > Hi, > > This is probably a simple question, but what is the best way to

Hi, This is probably a simple question, but what is the best way to control the vertical positioning of the x-axis label? I tried: import matplotlib matplotlib.use('Agg') import matplotlib.pyplot as mpl fig = mpl.figure() ax = fig.add_subplot(111) ax.set_xlabel("Hello",position=(0.5,-0.2)) fig
