Another method is to recognise that a title is defined within a textbox,
and can take options allowed for the textbox. So we could use the
dimensions of the box (which you don't see, by default) to induce the
appearance of a gap.
try:
sysuse auto, clear
graph two scatter price mpg, ytitle(, height(1))
graph two scatter price mpg, ytitle(, height(10))
or, bizarrely:
graph two scatter price mpg, ytitle(, height(-5)) xtitle(, height(20))

I found something like this will do the trick most of the time:
twoway (scatter y x, sort), ytitle("Y" " ") xtitle("X" " ")
This adds a blank line below the axis title.
Sometimes rotating the axis labels also helps:
twoway (scatter y x, sort), ytitle("Y" " ") xtitle("X" " ") ylabel(,
angle(horizontal))
In general, casual empiricism tell me that adding a blank line will work
with any type of title.
