How to move name of axis in Plotly?

I have example like this:

library(data.table)
library(plotly)

data1<-data.table(rbind(c(0,'Very long text'),c(4,'Very, very, very, very long 
text')))
colnames(data1)<- c('A','B')

plot_ly(data=data1,y=~A, x=~B,type='bar') %>%
layout(xaxis=list(tickangle=45),
     margin=list(b=200))

And problem is that the name of xaxis is close to xaxis and it can interfere with tick labels.

Is there possibility to move downward name of xaxis?

There is (now) an option called standoff which can be set in the title layout which controls the distance between the axis and the title.

library(data.table)
library(plotly)

data1<-data.table(rbind(c(0,'Very long text'),c(4,'Very, very, very, very long 
text')))
colnames(data1)<- c('A','B')

plot_ly(data=data1,y=~A, x=~B,type='bar') %>%
  layout(xaxis=list(tickangle=45, title = list( text ="my title", standoff = 50)))

I have started using annotations to make my own axis labels where I want them and how I want them. Check out the annotations "example" under layout at https://plot.ly/javascript/reference/. There is a small learning curve but then you are in charge.

Sample

var layoutS = 
{  
   title:'Plot',
   xaxis1:{  
      zeroline:false,
      zerolinewidth:1,
      showline:true,
      showticklabels:true,
      ticks:'outside',

   },
   yaxis1:{  
      zeroline:true,
      zerolinewidth:1,
      showline:true,
      showticklabels:true,
      ticks:'outside',

   },
   width:graphWidth,
   height:graphHeight,
   annotations:[  
      {  
         xref:'paper',
         yref:'paper',
         x:0,
         xanchor:'center',
         y:1.1,
         yanchor:'bottom ',
         text:'x[n]',
         showarrow:false
      },
      {  
         xref:'paper',
         yref:'paper',
         x:1.1,
         xanchor:'left',
         y:0,
         yanchor:'top',
         text:'n',
         showarrow:false
      }
   ]
}

Plotly documentation does not list an option for moving xaxis title. Easiest (but nasty) workaround is using \r\n in xaxis=list(tickangle=45, title = "\r\n B").
