Bug report

I want to plot something with the legend outside the figure. I am using

 legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.2, 1))

To position the legend and then I have to do

 tight_layout()

To make sure the plot is complete when saved to a file.

Unfortunately, tight_layout() pushes the legend into the figure no matter what values I put in the legend function.

It would be nice to have more convenient ways to postion the legend beside or even above or below the figure.
