Quiverkey() positions arrow incorrectly with labelpos 'N' or 'S' #5613
Description
The documentation for quiverkey() in versions 1.3 through 1.5 states that
If labelpos is 'N' or 'S', X, Y give the position of the middle of the key arrow.
This guarantee is clearly violated in version 1.5:
The script that generated these figures is
import numpy
import matplotlib
from matplotlib import pyplot
plot = pyplot.quiver(*numpy.random.rand(2, 10, 10))
pyplot.xlim(-2, 12)
pyplot.ylim(-2, 12)
pyplot.quiverkey(plot, 0.5, 1, 1, 'N', labelpos='N')
pyplot.quiverkey(plot, 1, 0.5, 1, 'E', labelpos='E')
pyplot.quiverkey(plot, 0.5, 0, 1, 'S', labelpos='S')
pyplot.quiverkey(plot, 0, 0.5, 1, 'W', labelpos='W')
pyplot.annotate(matplotlib.__version__, (0, 0), (-1, 11), 'data', 'data',
ha='left')
pyplot.savefig('quiver_{}.png'.format(matplotlib.__version__))

I see what happened (in #3955), and it's easy to fix. I can do it today or tomorrow. Thanks for the report, @EdwinChan. Your script will inspire a test.

I do not see how I broke this 😞

@tacaswell, You normalized to "middle", but quiverkey is still using "mid" and is not going through the normalization (and indeed, it shouldn't need to). So I will either change the normalization to "mid", or change quiverkey to request "middle".

Ah, I see. I can clean up my mess if you would like.

OK, thanks.
FIX: quiver key pivot location
