Text formatting for axis labels

[bmccorm2]

Sorry i can't seem to find this anywhere. Anyone know how i format an axis label (i.e., fontSize: 16 - and just the label not the actual axis)

Thanks!

A way to do this is to create two axes with the axis mark; one that only has the label (and the fontSize option), the other with only the ticks.

Thanks that works to an extent. It would be nice to have some more control of the labeling. I'm not trying to go overboard but when i make the label the size i want it will overwrite the ticks.

Have you tried using dy to move it vertically? (Sorry for the belated reply.)

[bmccorm2]

Ironically that dy offset is working for everything except the label. (i.e., i can offset the ticks but not the actual label)

Right, it is labelOffset in that case. See https://observablehq.com/@recifs/plot-large-axis-label--support (and #1414)

That's good thanks! I used it in conjunction with marginBottom and works great. Thank you so much!
