Sometimes the legend simply gets in the way. You can't always guess
the correct placement (think generic tool which processes lots of
different input data sets), or zooming/panning makes it obscure a
chunk of the plot you want to look at. Is it possible to move it
interactively? I'm using mpl 1.3.1
I believe (as of v1.3.1) that after you create the legend you call
leg.draggable(True)

Would it make sense to add a few lines to the Legend Guide/Legend location ?
