MATLAB: How to prevent Y axis exponential from overlapping with the plot

Question

On my loglog plot with a reversed x axis, the y axis labels are positioned incorrectly. Messing with OuterPosition and Position doesn't seem to help, and TightInset is locked. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I could reproduce that behaviour in R2018b. This is obviously a bug.

Try this:

x = logspace(-4, 2, 25);                                    % Create Data

y = logspace(0, 10, 25);                                    % Create Data
figure
loglog(x, y)
Ax = gca;
Ax.XDir = 'reverse';
yt = Ax.YTick;                                              % Get ‘YTick’ Values
Ax.YTickLabel = compose('10^{%d}    ', log10(yt));          % Create New ‘YTickLabel’ Cell Array, Adding End Spaces

Creating your own tick labels and adding spaces at the end appears to work:
