Distance between axis and Axis label

Question

Hello,I was wondering if it was possible to control the distance between a chartAxis' line and it's labels. I find that by default the numbers are really close to the line and this sometimes causes overlap which is not very professional looking (see picture attached).Any help is appreciated. Thanks.JamesAxisLabelFail_3b52dc0b.zip

The template idea seems to work to create spacing so that is good Thank you.

I was not able to run the sample because it references things (System.xaml) that are VS2010 only and I'm still using VS2008.

The issue that arises now is that I have lost the original fontsize of the axis labels.

I figure that I should set the binding of the Textblock's FontSize (in the datatemplate) property to something... Any idea on what this could be?

Here's how I did it:Instead of setting the DataTemplate's content to a textbox like this:   Set it to a label:   In this way the original fontsizes, fontfamily, fontweight and a lot of other stuff are preserved and you get the margin you want between the axes and it's labels
