[Matplotlib-users] placing legend outside of plot area

[Chris W. <ch...@si...>]

Hi All,

How would I go about placing the legend outside the plot area?

All the parameters to legend seem to place the legend somewhere within 
the plot and I'd like to place it outside the plot, either above, below 
or, most commonly, to the right, in the same way as the Excel legend 
positions allow.

cheers,

Chris
