Inset axes placement is controlled as for legends: either by providing a *loc* option ("upper right", "best", ...), or by providing a locator with respect to the parent bbox. Parameters such as *bbox_to_anchor* and *borderpad* likewise work in the same way, and are also demonstrated here. Users should consider using `.Axes.inset_axes` instead (see :ref:`colorbar_placement`). ..
