legend(position(1))
We can put the legend up in the top
right corner of the graph with the
legend(position(1))
option. The
values you supply for
position()
are
like the numbers on a clock face, where
12 o'clock is the top, 6 o'clock is the
bottom, and 0 represents the center of
the clock face; see
Styles : Clockpos

for more details.
