And often one does not want to specify or know the numerical location of the legend, but rather one just wants to place the legend snug in a corner of the plot . Here's how to do this with the direct graphics procedure AL_LEGEND

IDL> cgplot,indgen(10)
IDL> al_legend,['This is a very long title'],lines=0,/right ;Place legend snug in upper right
IDL> al_legend,['short'],lines=1,/bottom,/right ;Place legend snug in lower right
