I’m plotting a series of sub-plots using `Plots`. To illustrate things:

```julia
x = range(-2pi,2pi,length=100)
fig = [plot(x,sin.(x),legend=:top)]
push!(fig,plot(x,cos.(x),legend=:top))
plot(fig...)

```

produces

…which is not what I want. I was hoping that the legend location followed each of the subplots, i.e., that the label was located at the center top of each subplot.

What am I doing wrong?/How can I specify the legend location in each subplot?

This problem appears to be related to the `GR` backend. When `using Plots` and the `pyplot` backend, I get the correct result:

```julia
pyplot()
x = range(-2pi,2pi,length=30)
pl = [plot(x,sin.(x),legend=:top)]
push!(pl,plot(x,cos.(x),legend=:top))
plot(pl...)

```
