Pgfplot - How to exactly align the legend in a plot












0















I have a legend in my pgfplots and want to manually position it at a point where the legend does not cover any text or measurement points.



I know the axis property legend pos=north west, but it's not possible to position it at a custom location.
According to the documentation (link) only the following values are allowed:




/pgfplots/legend pos=south west|south east|north west|north east|outer north east



A style which provides shorthand access to some commonly used legend positions.




How can I move the legend so that it is at the right position in my plot?
enter image description here
Thank you very much for your help!
