JJ: Wonderful, simple and much less messy and Latex+unicode. Although, now I'm fascinated by the Latex possibilities! Ernest: I haven't notice the "s" before when using "pts", but what is really strange is that "pt" does not work! Thank you all again, Filipe ---

If what you want is to have more padding for the major tick labels, I recommend you to use rcParams['xtick.major.pad'] = 20 If you don't like to change the global setting, you may set the ticklabel padding for an specific axis. Try for tck in ax.xaxis.get_major_ticks(): tck.set_pad(20) t
