Users can specify any arbitrary location for the legend using the

of BboxBase(or its derivatives) or a tuple of 2 or 4 floats.
See :meth:`set_bbox_to_anchor` for more detail.

The legend location can be specified by setting *loc* with a tuple of
2 floats, which is interpreted as the lower-left corner of the legend
in the normalized axes coordinate.
