How to specify legend position in matplotlib in graph coordinates

Question

I am aware of the bbox_to_anchor keyword and this thread, which very helpfully suggests how to manually place the legend:

How to put the legend out of the plot

Answer 1

According to the matplotlib legend documentation:

The location can also be a 2-tuple giving the coordinates of the lower-left corner of the legend in axes coordinates (in which case bbox_to_anchor will be ignored).

Thus, one could use:

plt.legend(loc=(x, y))

to set the legend's lower left corner to the specified (x, y) position.
