Tmap: Option to increase space between axis titles and axis

[robsalasco]

Hi @mtennekes

Thank you... tmap is awesome!

I want to move the axis title a little to avoid the overlap. Can you add an option to set the space please?

Best, Roberto.

Hi @Robinlovelace

Here we go!

library(tmap)
data(World)
qtm(World, fill="#FFF8DC", projection="longlat") +
  tm_grid(col = "gray70", labels.inside.frame=F) +
  tm_xlab("Longitude") +
  tm_ylab("Latitude")

Done! I've added an argument to tm_xlab and tm_ylab called space. When grid line labels are plotted outside the frame, it is set automatically to a value such that the axis titles are plotted near the grid line labels. So your code should work straight out-of-the-box.
