TikZ 3D plot : how to add spaces between tick labels to prevent them from colliding?
2
I have a 3D plot with colliding yticklabels, which I have been unable to fix for now. Here is my minimum working example:
documentclass[10pt]{standalone}
%
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{tikz,pgfplots,amsmath}
%
pgfplotsset{compat=newest}
%
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
%graphique
begin{axis}[
width=4 cm,
height=4 cm,
xmin=3,xmax=6,
ymin=0,ymax=0.023,
zmin=1,zmax=1.8,
xlabel=x,
ylabel=y,
zlabel=z,
zticklabel style = {yshift=0.1cm}, %to prevent it from colliding with xlabels
xtick = {3,4,5,6},
ytick ={0.006,0.012,0.017,0.023},
yticklabels = {0.6,1.2,1.7,2.3},
ztick ={1,1.2,1.4,1.6,1.8},
scaled y ticks = false,
view = {30}{30},
]
addplot3[fill=black!15,opacity=0.35,thick] (4,0,1) -- (4,0.023,1) -- (4,0.023,1.8) -- (4,0,1.8) -- cycle;
end{axis}
end{tikzpicture}
end{document}
Giving for now:
Would you know a way to relax the yticklabel so that they do not collide ? The only solution I found so far was to delete it in the axis by passing yticklabels = {,,,}, only to define it manually after the end{axis}...
Thank you for your time!
PS: the axis width, height, view and the font size must not be changed ;)

your image is small, so there is not enough space for tick labels. try to reduce tick labels' font size, for example with adding
ticklabel style={font=tiny},to axis preamble. after than you can deletezticklabel style = {yshift=0.1cm}.– Zarko

@Zarko Thank you for your remark. I know that it is a font size problem, but I would rather move a bit labels from the ticks than change the font size or image size. Is there no way to add a bit of space between labels without positionning them by hand?
