For the first point, you have to use `Measures` and keyword argument to `plot()` function: `rightmargin=-20mm`

For the second point, I thought this had been implemented in `Plots.jl` following a push from @lmiq, but it doesn’t seem to be the case here with `pythonplot()`. See [this thread](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/making-plots-place-its-legend-in-a-better-spot/74986) for several solutions.
