I’m trying to make a plot similar to this in Makie

With the details that I know the size of each little circle, and they have a probability attach to them.

My attempt

```julia
fig, axis = meshscatter(V[1,:], V[2,:], V[3,:], markersize = 1.0, colormap = :inferno, color = Averagefg1 + Averagefg2 , transparency = true)

meshscatter!([0.0],[0.0], [0.0], markersize = 10.0, colormap = :inferno, color = [0.5] , transparency = true)

```

The issue that I’m having:

I only know how to put spherical markers, but I would like them to be patches on the bigger sphere.

Not really sure how to display the color bar, but I guess that’s an easy fix that I haven’t been able to find in the documentation.
