Function better_legend_pos()
better_legend_pos(given_extents)
ensures that the legend is put above the data points in
the current figure.
The figure is nicely printed in Octave 8.3 by e.g.:
print("-dpdfcrop",filename,"-bestfit");
Two major assumptions:
-- the legend is at location northeast. If there is not
one legend, the function does nothing.
-- if input argument given_extents is given or has the
value true, the extents of the axes of the plot must be
approximately good before calling better_legend_pos().
The upper bound of the y axis will be slightly changed
to make space for the legend, but the given lower bound
of the y axis will not be changed.
Option {"location","best"} has not yet been implemented
in Octave 6.2, nor even in Octave 8.3!
