The native Matplotlib method we just described gives good flexibility to adjust the position of the inset axes. When we want to set a quick location, inset_axes may be a good start. There are a number of predefined locations you may select with the keyword argument loc without the hassle of specifying the exact coordinates by trial and error.

'upper right' : 1,'upper left' : 2,'lower left' : 3,'lower right' : 4,'right' : 5,'center left' : 6,'center right' : 7,'lower center' : 8,'upper center' : 9,'center' : 10

from mpl_toolkits.axes_grid1.inset_locator import inset_axes
Here is an example of embedding ...
