This feels like what I should be wanting except:
- why does it need explicit parameters? why can't it pick up its lines
and labels automatically, like legend does?
It sounds like what you want it the pyplot figlegend command:
def figlegend(handles, labels, loc, **kwargs):
"""
Place a legend in the figure. Labels are a sequence of
strings, handles is a sequence of line or patch instances, and
loc can be a string r an integer specifying the

-
from pylab import *
figure()
subplot(111)
subplots_adjust(right=0.7)
plot(arange(10), label='linear')
plot(arange(10)**2, label='q
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 a
