How to reduce the space between y-label and y-ticks, in other words how to closer the y-label to y-axis.

Answer 1

You can use the below command..

ylh=ylabel('ylabel'); % adding ylabelto figure
dy=0.2;
ylh.Position(1)=ylh.Position(1)-dy; % you can change 'dy' according to your need. dy=+ve, will move the label from y axis. dy=-ve , will move the label closer to the axis.

Thank you very much for your response,

I got the following error

Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.

Error in graphs_codes (line 21)

ylh.Position(1)=ylh.Position(1)- dy;

Are you using R2015a or earlier? That would be important information to know for the purposes of this question !!

I'm using R2013a

sir, my be you can ref the follow code, please check

clc; clear all; close all;
figure; 
ezplot('y=sin(x)');
pause(0.1);
hs = get(gca, 'XLabel');
pos = get(hs, 'Position');
pos(2) = pos(2)+0.2;
set(hs, 'Position', pos)
hs = get(gca, 'YLabel');
pos = get(hs, 'Position');
pos(1) = pos(1)+0.2;
set(hs, 'Position', pos)

you can read the book 《计算机视觉与深度学习实战》

@yanqi liu sorry but it the above code disappear both x and y label in my case

[Walter Roberson]

how_much_to_move = 0.1;

ezplot('y=sin(x)');
hs = get(gca, 'YLabel');
pos = get(hs, 'Position');
pos(1) = pos(1) + how_much_to_move;
set(hs, 'Position', pos)

adjust how_much_to_move as needed for your purposes.

[yanqi liu]

Yes, sir, this is good idea

[Ammy]

Thank you very much, but its work for ezplot,

I want to do it for plot(x,y,..)

How can I use above for that?
