[Feature request] Align legend with the start and end of the axis #17

Open sbcalaff opened 2 years ago

I wonder if it would be possible to implement a feature that make it possible to align the legend with the start and end of the axis. For example, in the figure below the legend extends along the Y-axis, perfectly aligned with the start and end of the axis. This new feature can be extended to the sharing of a single legend by multiple plots.

Haven't tried it myself, but I assume you can make the "legend" simply as a heatmap using geom_tile and then it can be aligned to the main figure using insert_left. Hope this helps!
