Axes.get_yaxis_text1_transform(self, pad_points)
Returns:
transform : Transform

The transform used for drawing y-axis labels, which will add pad_points of padding (in points) between the axes and the label. The x-direction is in axis coordinates and the y-direction is in data corrdinates

valign : {'center', 'top', 'bottom', 'baseline', 'center_baseline'}

The text vertical alignment.

halign : {'center', 'left', 'right'}

Notes

This transformation is primarily used by the Axis class, and is meant to be overridden by new kinds of projections that may need to place axis elements in different locations.
