Legend with "loc=best" does not try to avoid text #23323
Description
I had this issue, and found almost exactly the same problem on Stack Overflow (link)
Briefly, the pyplot.legend does not try to avoid pyplot.text. Here is a minimal example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [1, 2] plt.plot(x, x, label='plot name') plt.gca().text(0.05, 0.95, 'some text', transform=plt.gca().transAxes, verticalalignment='top') plt.gca().legend(loc='best') plt.show()
resulting in legend overlaying the text like this:
BTW, my matplotlib version is 3.4.3
