distance between tick label and xlabel

When I increase the xlabel fontsize, it overlaps with the tick label.
How can I adjust the distance between tick label and xlable (or ylabel)?
Please help me.

This shouldn't happen if the font metrics are correct, since the label
gets the bounding box of the tick labels and adjusts itself correctly.
 What mpl version and backend are you using?

To increase the distance, you can increase the LABELPAD parameter

ax.xaxis.LABELPAD = 8  # default is 5

This behavior is causing a problem for me. I have two figures with
different sets of yticklabels (100 vs 1000), and the ylabels are in
different places as a result. I'd like to have the two ylabels be in the
exact same position.

I am changing this property, but nothing changes on the figure. From
ipython, and when the figure is visible, I type:

gca().yaxis.labelpad = 100

but the ylabel doesn't move. I'm in 0.98pre from svn. What am I doing
wrong?

Yust a guess: Try

  draw()
 
to redraw the hole figure.
