Is there a way to move the seaborn graph's legend outside of the graph or to the right?

Question

I have the following data and I would like to generate a graph with the legend of all the "States/UTs" shifted to the right or outside of the box that contains the graph. There are no errors with the code and the output is the graph that I am providing here. The graph is what I am asking about, see how the legend in the graph takes up part of the graph and it is not showing all the "States/UTs" because it is not centered correctly.

Data:

Update:

From my understanding, inserting this next piece of code should do it: plt.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.05, 1), loc=2, borderaxespad=0.). It doesn't though — Daniel, Sep 26 '21 at 01:45
I think we can change it to a scatter plot graph and add the number of columns specification to the legend specification in the comments. `sns.acatterplot(...);plt.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.05, 1), loc=2, borderaxespad=0., ncol=3)` — r-beginners, Sep 26 '21 at 02:37
`plt.subplots(figsize=(20,20))` `sns.scatterplot(y='Discharged', x='Total_Cases', data=df, hue='State_UTs')` `plt.legend(loc='center right', bbox_to_anchor=(1.0, 1.05), ncol=8)` `plt.xticks(rotation='vertical')` `plt.show()` — Joe Ferndz, Sep 02 '23 at 04:03

You can probably try something like that:

g = sns.jointplot(x='Total Cases', y='Death Ratio (%)',
                  data=data, hue='State/UTs')

plt.subplots_adjust(right=0.75)

g.ax_joint.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.25,1), loc='upper left', borderaxespad=0)

Demo:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

penguins = sns.load_dataset('penguins')
g = sns.jointplot(x='bill_length_mm', y='bill_depth_mm',
                  data=penguins, hue='species')
plt.subplots_adjust(right=0.75)
g.ax_joint.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.25,1), loc='upper left', borderaxespad=0)

Is there a way to move the seaborn graph's legend outside of the graph or to the right?
