Put plotly legend on top of chart

How can I put the legend on top of the plotly chart instead of bottom?

library(plotly)
library(tidyr)
library(plyr)

data <- spread(Orange, Tree, circumference)
data <- rename(data, c("1" = "Tree1", "2" = "Tree2", "3" = "Tree3", "4" = "Tree4", "5" = "Tree5"))

fig <- plot_ly(data, x = ~age, y = ~Tree1, type = 'scatter', mode = 'lines', name = 'Tree 1')
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~Tree2, name = 'Tree 2')
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~Tree3, name = 'Tree 3')
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~Tree4, name = 'Tree 4')
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~Tree5, name = 'Tree 5')
fig <- fig %>% layout(legend = list(orientation = 'h'))

You could specify the x and y coordinates of the legend in layout like this:

library(plotly)
library(tidyr)
library(plyr)

fig <- plot_ly(data, x = ~age, y = ~Tree1, type = 'scatter', mode = 'lines', name = 'Tree 1')
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~Tree2, name = 'Tree 2')
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~Tree3, name = 'Tree 3')
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~Tree4, name = 'Tree 4')
fig <- fig %>% add_trace(y = ~Tree5, name = 'Tree 5')
fig <- fig %>% layout(legend = list(orientation = 'h', x = 0, y = 1.1))

fig
