left

top

right

bottom

center_left

center_top

center_right

center_bottom

@jbednar @jlstevens Thinking of renaming the option to widget_layout, how does that sound? Also should I add top_left, top_right, bottom_left, and bottom_right?

[philippjfr]

Or maybe should we have separate widget_layout and center parameters?

[philippjfr]

The full set of options in that case would be:

center = True/False
widget_layout = top_left, top, top_right, right_top, right, right_bottom, bottom_right, bottom, bottom_left, left_bottom, left, left_top

Yes, it seems like the two flags need to be separated if all those other options are supported, or there will be too many combinations. Are those location options identical to what Bokeh supports for legends? If so that sounds reasonable...

No, bokeh has a relative positioning system for legends which is expressed in pixels (and therefore pretty useless imo).
