Request/Question: Colored x-/z-level or volshow within plot as legend #351

Hello, I was wondering if it is possible to create some kind of legend/value-scale besides the three axes within an animation scatter plot? My idea would be to either colour in the x-/z-level (or even use a image), or to add a coloured volume as kind of a "fog"-legend into the scatter animation. Unfortunately, I can't use colours for the scatter elements themselves, as colours already have to make those distinctive.

As far as I see though, there is not a way to add an image in a scatter or combine two plots. So I was wondering if someone else thought about this, or maybe found a solution?

(I think else I will try to come up with something in bar charts.)
