Plots: colorbar inside figure/axis

General Usage
1

Hi!

Is there a way in the existing API to include a colorbar “inside” an existing axis. Like in the attached image?

Source of uncropped image:

using Plots

function f(x, y)
    r = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
    return cos(r) / (1 + r)
end

x = range(0, 2π, length = 30)

heatmap(x, x, f, c = :thermal)

Thanks!

By using Plots’ insets, it is possible:
Plots_heatmap_with_inset_colorbar

Plots code 
using Plots

function f(x, y)
    r = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
    return cos(r) / (1 + r)
end

x = range(0, 2π, length = 30)
theme(:dark)
heatmap(x, x, f, c=:thermal, colorbar=false, inset=(1, bbox(0.85, 0.1, 0.1, 0.8)));
heatmap!(x, x, f, c=:thermal, fg_color=:white, subplot=2)

Nice! That’s exactly it.
Do you have a MWE to share? Thanks!

Please check the MWE code below the plot.

Thanks! I somehow missed it.

I only published the code after your comments. And this because sometimes people are too demanding, like: “ah, it’s close but not transparent enough” or “it’s OKish but not perfectly aligned with the North Star”, etc… , at which point I unplug.
