Plotly R: setting the spacing between axis label and axis ticks labels

Question

Is there any way to set a spacing between axis labels and axis ticks labels other than changing margins?

Example plot:

plot_ly(mtcars, x = ~ wt, y = ~ pa         


        

Answer 1

What I typically do is make use of the ticksuffix option which can create additional space behind a label.

layout(
      xaxis = list(title = "", automargin=T, ticksuffix = "%")
     ,yaxis = list(title = "", automargin=T, ticksuffix = "   ")
)
