Hi all-

Is it possible to show the right y-axis border when placing the legend outside the plot? Thanks.

```julia
using Plots
pyplot()
plot(rand(10), legend = :outertopright)

```

`framestyle=:box` gives you borders around the plot, is this what you need? AFAIK the position of the legend has nothing to do with that.
