I have a simple node (rectangle) with a label a the top. I would like that label to appear on the top left, but I'm failing at understanding how to do so. Here's what I'm aiming for:

and here's my code:

node [rectangle, label=Grid] at (3.25, .25) ;

I've tried things such as setting

label=[align=left]Grid

but they will not align the label to the left. They will put the label on the left side of the node, instead. Also,

label=[left=4]Grid

worked in the sense that it moved the label to the left, but also somehow screwed its vertical positioning. Trying to then correct for it with

label=[left=4, above=1]Grid

didn't work, although doing the above=1 individually did move it upwards.

A MVE of the last situation:

documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarypositioning

begindocument
begintikzpicture

node [label=[left=4]:Grid, draw=blue, rectangle, minimum width=10cm, minimum height=7cm] at (0, 0) ;

endtikzpicture
enddocument

but ideally I would like to just tell it to left align it for me.

Like this?

documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarypositioning

begindocument
begintikzpicture

node [draw=blue, rectangle, minimum width=10cm, minimum height=7cm] at (0, 0)(r) ;
node[above right] at (r.north west)Grid;
endtikzpicture
enddocument

With label only:

documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarypositioning

begindocument
begintikzpicture

node [draw=blue, rectangle, minimum width=10cm, minimum height=7cm,name=r,label=[shift=(r.north west)]above right:Grid] at (0, 0) ;

endtikzpicture
enddocument

With a label:

documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarypositioning

begindocument
begintikzpicture
node [label=north west:Grid, draw=blue, rectangle, minimum width=10cm, minimum height=2cm] at (0, 3) ;
node [label=[anchor=south west]north west:Grid, draw=blue, rectangle, minimum width=10cm, minimum height=2cm] at (0, 0) ;
endtikzpicture
enddocument

The syntax for the label is position:label text and the top left of a node is called north west. However, specified position is used for the bottom right of the label in this case, while it should be used for the bottom left. To do this you can specify the anchor point as a label option.

One can do much shorter.

documentclassarticle
usepackagetikz
begindocument
begintikzpicture
draw[blue] (10,-7) rectangle (0,0) node[above right,black]Grid;
endtikzpicture
enddocument
