Label of y axis is overlapping with the axis tick labels

[vzemlys]

The label of y axis overlaps the y axis tick labels:

data.frame(x=rnorm(100),reallylongvariable=rnorm(100)*100000) %>% ggvis(~x,~reallylongvariable) %>% layer_points()

The label reallylongvariable should be left of the all the y axis labels, but it is not.

I've come across this before. It would be nice if ggvis/vega figured out the correct offset automatically - in the meantime I usually use the dy parameter as in here:

add_axis('y', title='Really Long Variable', properties=axis_props(labels=list(fontSize=12), title=list(fontSize=16,dy=-25)))

-25 didn't do the job for me so I used: add_axis("y", title = 'yaxis title name', properties=axis_props(title=list(dy=-50)))

Would be nice if we knew what the x axis offset was and could have it more symmetric if you know what I mean.
