Distance between the tick labels and the axis title. In percent of system.tick.majorLen. 50 = no gap
When the ticks are displayed inside the axis, this is the distance between the tick labels and the ticks. In percent of system.tick.majorLen.
When the ticks are displayed outside the axis, this is the distance between the tick labels and the ticks. In percent of system.tick.majorLen.
