如何调整Plotly子图坐标轴标签与图表的间距？

问题分析 #

你在make_subplots中设置了全局的x_title和y_title，但默认的标签与图表间距偏大。单独设置子轴的title_standoff不会影响全局标签的位置，需要直接调整全局标签的间距参数。

修改方案 #

在fig.update_layout()中添加xaxis_title_standoff和yaxis_title_standoff参数，设置较小数值缩小标签与图表的距离；同时可调整底部、左侧边距配合优化整体布局。

def save_fig(fig,pngname):
    width = 800
    height = 400
    fig.write_image(pngname,format="png", width=width, height=height, scale=1)
    print("[[%s]]"%pngname)
    #fig.show()
    return

关键调整说明 #

• xaxis_title_standoff=5和yaxis_title_standoff=5：直接控制全局坐标轴标签与图表的距离，数值越小间距越近，可根据实际显示效果微调。
• 缩小margin的l和b值：避免标签被边距截断，同时让整体布局更紧凑。
