#' Map component: inset map
#'
#' Map component that adds an inset object, e.g. a mini map
#'
#' @param x object to draw. Can be: bounding box, tmap object, ggplot2 object, grob object, image file name.
#' @param height height of the component in number of text line heights.
#' @param width width of the component in number of text line heights.
#' @param margins margins
#' @param between_margin Margin between
#' @param box_frame Should a box frame be drawn in the main map that shows where the inset is? `TRUE` by default
#' @param box_frame.color,box_frame.alpha,box_frame.lwd,box_frame.lty Properties of the box frame
#' @param box_bg Should the frame box have a background? `FALSE` by default
#' @param box_bg.color,box_bg.alpha Properties of the box background
#' @param main_frame Should a frame be drawn around the inset map? Note that this is different from the general map component frame (the argument `frame`)
#' @param main_frame.r,main_frame.color,main_frame.alpha,main_frame.lwd Properties of the main frame
#' @inheritParams tm_title
#' @example ./examples/tm_inset.R
#' @seealso `r .doc_see_also_insets()` `r .doc_see_also_comp()`
