plot axis label and numbers

[Valmor de Almeida]

Hello,

Is there a way to control the space between an axis label and the
numbers along the axis? As of now I have a case where the label is too
close to the numbers.

I control the font size of the label with

set(ax(2),"ylabel",text(0.0,0.0,y2Label,"units",'normalized',"rotation",90,"fontsize",26));

and the font size of the axis number with

 set(ax(2),"fontsize",16,"ycolor",'red');

Any idea on how to make the space between numbers and label wider?

Thanks,
