[FIXED] Is there a way to set the legends of matplotlib subplots out of the plot?

Issue

Right now I have a plot with two subplots The problem is that in each subplot I put many traces with different colors so when I put the legend, it covers up some of the points.

The plot covers a lot of the plot space, and the legend has many traces so it seems there is no space for both

Is there a way to solve this? Perhaps (but I open to other ways) putting the legend outside?

Solution

There is a bbox_to_anchor argument in the plt.legend() function

This will enable you to set the position of the legend

This is a very nice answer already on here btw
