Here is my code

```julia
using Plots
using LaTeXStrings
a = randn(100,1);
b = sin.(a);

scatter(a,b,xlabel=L"x",ylabel=L"\sin(x)",
        framestyle = :box,
        legend=false,
        yguidefontrotation = -90
)

```

The label “sin(x)” goes outside the plot region.

If I use `pyplot()`, then the label rotates, but it does not use the LaTeX font anymore, so using `pyplot()` is not an option.

I found a workaround. `using Plots.PlotMeasures` and `left_margin` works.

```julia
using Plots
using Plots.PlotMeasures
using LaTeXStrings
a = randn(100,1);
b = sin.(a);

scatter(a,b,xlabel=L"x",ylabel=L"\sin(x)",
        framestyle = :box,
        legend=false,
        yguidefontrotation = -90,
        left_margin = 35 px
)

```
