I would like to plot a `Legend` figure on top of other figures, but the axis’ of the background figures emerges on top.  
How can I `translate!` the `Legend` figure to come out on top of everything ?

E.g.

```julia
let
	fig = Figure()
	a1, p1 = scatter(fig[1:10,1:2], rand(10); color=:blue)
	a2, p2 = scatter(fig[1:10,3:4], rand(10); color=:red)
	p3 = Legend(fig[5,2:3], [p1, p2], ["first scatter", "second scater"]; orientation=:horizontal)
	fig
end

```

I would like to hide the axis that come out on top of the `Legend`.  
How can I do that ?

You can push the whole scene that the Legend sits in forward:

```julia
let
	fig = Figure()
	a1, p1 = scatter(fig[1:10,1:2], rand(10); color=:blue)
	a2, p2 = scatter(fig[1:10,3:4], rand(10); color=:red)
	p3 = Legend(fig[5,2:3], [p1, p2], ["first scatter", "second scater"]; orientation=:horizontal)
    translate!(p3.blockscene, 0, 0, 100)
	fig
end

```
