Legend Location

Community Support

Hi there,

I’ve spend quite some time looking for a way to change the default position/location of a legend from top right corner to the top left corner, but I’m stuck. I’m thinking I must be missing something.

Could anyone shed some light on how I could accomplish this?

Cheers & Thanks,

Mathis

Just filed an issue for it here:

the JS legend object has the property orientation, which takes values like top_right, top_left, bottom_right, and bottom_left, But it is not exposed on the Python side.

I’m working on it right now, should have a commit in the next hour or so. (I’m also adding a bunch of the other legend properties and am testing them out.)
