Thank you for the awesome work!

Am I miss something? ... to me the strings for A-F are incorrect. The bbox_to_anchor seems fine though.

Ok. Got it now. If it refers to the blue dot then still two things need to be fixed:

  1. for D case ... x value should be positive .1 => bbox_to_anchor=(.1,-.1)
  2. MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: Unrecognized location 'left'. Falling back on 'best'

To solve (2) perhaps H should use 'center left' ... instead of left

Your observations are correct.

"right" is also only supported for backward compatibility and we should use "center right" for consistency.

@coandrei Do you want to provide a pull request with the changes?

@coandrei a PR would be nice. Also for the numerical value, we should use {\ttfamily (0.1,0.1)} instead of (0.1,0.1). It will makes thing more readable.

coandrei commented

@rougier copy that.

@rougier PR sent. I close this issue now.
