Position Legends in Seaborn

import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns

DATA_PATH = '../input/iris/Iris.csv'

df = pd.read_csv(DATA_PATH)

df.head(1)

When working with Python and Seaborn (sns) it's common to have plots in which the legend overlaps the plot content, we can see this issue in the below code output:

g = sns.scatterplot(x = 'SepalWidthCm', y = 'SepalLengthCm', hue = 'Species', data = df)

<Figure size 432x288 with 1 Axes>

Using the g.legend function of a graph we are able to move the legend to a more suitable location

g = sns.scatterplot(x = 'SepalWidthCm', y = 'SepalLengthCm', hue = 'Species', data = df)
g.legend(loc = 'center left', bbox_to_anchor = (1, 0.5), ncol = 1)

You can find out more about how the legend function works in the Matplotlib Docs, and you can find an interactive version of this notebook on Kaggle
