Description

Hi!

Could an external horizontal legend below a faceted plot be left-aligned with the panels?
bottom! centers the legend, while bottomleft! places it in the left-side margin. Perhaps a block-level justification option like legend.just = "left"?

Best wishes,
Hu

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how external legends are positioned for faceted plots, comparing bottom! with bottomleft!; done means a horizontal legend can be left-aligned with the panels without breaking existing placement options.
