I think you might get what you want by setting the tick "pad". See the help for matplotlib.axis.Tick. From the python shell type import matplotlib.axis help(matplotlib.axis.Tick) or see the online documentation at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.axis.html#Tick Eg, for tick in ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks(): tick.set_pad(12) You can also set the default for this parameter in your configuration file.
