Hi Chris, sorry I don't understand what you are exactly looking for. Maybe you could explain it once more. In general I think all one can do is to play around with the parameters in 'subplots_adjust' and the location in 'legend' to get the best result. I'm not an expert but I think there's no default behaviour covering all needs (outside the axes and best located), because for example the legend width is influenced by the length of the labels.
