I am having an issue with VegaLite.jl where the label is overlapping with the ticks in the y-axis. I haven’t been able to find any parameter to add some padding between the two values. CC: @davidanthoff

I would try the “titlePadding” on the axis.

Some documentation is available here: ([Header | Vega-Lite](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/header.html#general))  
and here is an example in json vega editor, not julia, but hopefully, it will give you a starting point.
