I produce the following chart:

With this code:

\end{tikzpicture}


\end{document}

Right now, the 'Note' at the bottom of the picture has been manually placed with:

\node[text width = 8.2cm, align = left] at (3.3,-1.2){\footnotesize Note: ...};

How can I automatically place it at the bottom left corner?

Pgfplots defines (4.19 Alignment Options) a node which is that of the axes called current axis. It suffices to position on the below south west anchor of current axis: (current axis.below south west).

\node[text width = 8.2cm, align = left,anchor=north west] 
at (current axis.below south west){...};

I quote the pgfplots manual:

Thus, the full code is :
