I am using legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.2, 1)) To position the legend and then I have to do tight_layout() To make sure the plot is complete when saved to a file. Unfortunately, tight_layout() pushes the legend into the figure no matter what values I put in the legend function. It would be nice to have more convenient ways to postion the legend beside or even above or below the figure.
