How to increase spacing between label and tics in gnu plot?

I wanted to increase the font sizes of labels, tics, key-s etc in my plot so increased them using using these commands:

set key font ',14';
set tic font ',20';
set xlabel font ',20';
set ylabel font ',20';

It got increased but now my y-label and y-tics overlap like this: enter image description here

How can I fix that?

Solution

  • Check help label and help margins. One way would be to adjust the label offset and the left margin, e.g.

    set ylabel "Some extra offset" offset -2,0
set lmargin 20

    Adjust the numbers to your needs.
