Legend placement in Python multiple plots
<p>I am creating python subplots. I have 10 figures and I want to place legend out side of my plot. After trying alot I have came up with this code. However, It is placing the legend in middle, which is not looking nice.</p>

<pre><code> thres = [0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9]
