Alter width of input plot/tree or things to tree, rather than other way around

[bananabenana]

Hi, firstly wanted to say how much I really love aplot. It has helped me generate a number of great looking figures.

My issue is that I would like to either have my ggtree phylogeny as the input
ggtree_plot %>% insert_right(metadata1, width = 0.5)
but this returns
Error in x$plotlist[[i]] + ylim2(mp) : non-numeric argument to binary operator

So barring that, I would like to be able to scale the input plot
metadata1, width = 0.5 %>% insert_left(g)

Is there any way to do this?

Thanks

just to add a +1 for this feature, it would be useful to be able adjust the width of the first "metadata1" object.

Also is there any way to add some padding/spacing between each element of the plot? (i.e. metadata1 and g in the example above)
