There is currently no "move to" location, but there is an offset
method where you can supply a deltxa, deltay in relative sizes, in
your case fractions of the figure width and height.   So if you wanted
to move the legend 5% of the figure width to the right and 10% of the
figure height up, you can call

  leg._offset(0.05, 0.10)

The leading underscore means that this method was intended for
internal use, and may change in future releases, but you can try it
and see if it works for you.  If it does, I can probably make it
a public method for the next release.

As always you'll need to call canvas.draw after setting the new legend
location.
