Can I plot a colorbar for a bokeh heatmap?

Question

Does bokeh have a simple way to plot the colorbar for a heatmap?

In this example it would be a strip illustrating how colors correspond to values.

Answer 1

To do this I did the same as @birdsarah. As an extra tip though if you use the rect method as your colour map, then use the rect method once again in the colour bar and use the same source. The end result is that you can select sections of the colour bar and it also selects in your plot.
