I would like to put the ylabel near the yticks, because the “head” of my Gamma is being “cutted” in GR backend. Is there any option to do that ?

```julia
using Plots, LaTeXStrings

scatter(rand(2000), rand(2000),
        guidefont=25, tickfont=20,
        size=(500,500),
        ylabel=L"\Gamma", xlabel=L"\xi", label="")
savefig("example")

```
