Description

Is there a way to specify the colorbar location in Plots.jl? I'm trying to put my colorbar at the top of the plot but I can't find a way to do it using the GR backend.

I found this code online that uses an option cbar=:top but that does not work for me.

Thanks!

Research direction
Investigate the Plots.jl source code for colorbar positioning options, particularly for the GR backend. Look for the `cbar` attribute and see if `:top` is supported or if there are alternative ways to specify colorbar location. Review the Plots.jl documentation and any related issues or PRs. Consider adding a `cbar position` attribute or updating documentation to clarify supported values.
