Dear R-wizards! 

I want to move the axis label of the y-axis a little bit
more apart from the border of the plot (otherwise, it would overlap 
with my horizontal numbering). 'par(mgp(3.5, 1, 0))' does it properly. 
Unfortunately, it also moves the x-axis label which does not look good.

Is there a way to specify 'mgp' for each axis separately or 
is there another way to move just the y-axis label on its own? 

Thanks for looking into my problem. I hope there is a solution to it :-) 

Bye
