Adjust Axes3D label positioning

by

I share your frustration. I worked on it for a good half hour and got nowhere. The docs say set_xlabel takes an arg labelpad but I get an error (AttributeError: Unknown property labelpad)! Setting it after the fact doesn’t do anything, on xaxis or w_xaxis.

Here’s a crude workaround:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.use("TKAGG")
import matplotlib.pyplot as pyplot
import mpl_toolkits.mplot3d

figure = pyplot.figure(figsize=(8,4), facecolor="w")
ax = figure.gca(projection='3d')

xLabel = ax.set_xlabel('\nXXX xxxxxx xxxx x xx x', linespacing=3.2)
yLabel = ax.set_ylabel('\nYY (y) yyyyyy', linespacing=3.1)
zLabel = ax.set_zlabel('\nZ zzzz zzz (z)', linespacing=3.4)
plot = ax.plot([1,2,3],[1,2,3])
ax.dist = 10

pyplot.show()
