Control tick value distance from x-axis

[jltz83]

Can someone help me identify the option that can adjust the distance between the x-axis and the tick values. I have tried TICKVALUEVALIGN, but it doesn't have any affect since all of my values are one a single line. I'd like to be able to move the values closer to the axis.

It would help to show the code you are using so far. Since there are different ways to make similar appearing graphs some suggestions might not work with your approach.

This is the template I am using.
