Is it possible to move the location of a legend for heatmaps using Plot()? I have tried every available backend and the `legend = :bottom` (or any other :direction) does not work. `legend = false` behaves as expected, however.

Alternately, is it possible to only output the legend of a plot (specifically a heatmap)?

Essentially, I am trying to plot many heatmaps as columns but only want either a single legend off to the side, or a legend below each heatmap similar to these examples: [example 1](https://deeptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/ExampleHeatmap2.png), [example 2](https://deeptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/ExampleHeatmap3.png)
