Re: [Matplotlib-users] Images as markers in matplotlib?

[Jae-Joon L. <lee...@gm...>]

Images can placed at arbitrary position (using the extent keyword).
I think this is enough as far as you're careful with the aspect.
Looking at the wikipedia example, I don't see any reason that this
cannot be done with matplotlib.
