Legend: 'outside' locations for legend #3857

For this feature, user are able to just saying legend location without given data point.

     plt.legend(displace=['in','UL'])  #legend inside Upper Left
     plt.legend(displace=['out','BR'])  #legend outside Bottom Right

@tacaswell tacaswell added this to the 2.1 (next point release) milestone Mar 19, 2016
#default displacement inner UpperRight
anchor = "in"
position = in_displace_code["UR"]

This should probably be done

anchor, code = displace
if anchor.lower() not in set(['in', 'out']):
    raise ValueError(...)
position = code_map[anchor.lower()][code]

Awesome.

Why not integrate this functionality into the existing pos kwarg? This seems to provide two kwargs which can conflict with each other. We have some other APIs like this in the library and they tend to greatly confuse users.

I think displace needs to only set in vs out or this functionality needs to be merged directly into pos.
