thanks @gidden for this improvement!

I'm wondering if there may be a more user-friendly way to use this feature than
line_plot(legend=plotting.OUTSIDE_LEGEND['right'])...?

Maybe line_plot(legend='outside right') following the example of https://matplotlib.org/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.legend?

[gidden]

Don't disagree, but matplotlib has lots of helpful messages about what arguments are available, and while we could do something similar, it is a much larger amount of work than I can put in for this PR.
