PGF plot legend placement error












1















I am currently trying to relocate the legend of my plot at the top left corner. But as soon as I set the command [legend pos=north west], the legend is relocated, but the grid lines are not rendered anymore and the axis range is completely off.



error?

The main issue is that you have closing ] after legend pos=north west, so the other options get ignored. As Joule V points out, this key doesn't yield the desired position. The legend can be placed with legend style={at={(axis cs:0,2)},....
