[Matplotlib-users] Adding image to a plot

[Asma R. <asm...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am trying to insert a .png image to the right side of the plot and
following the code mentioned here:Combine picture and plot with Python
Matplotlib<http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3765056/combine-picture-and-plot-with-python-matplotlib>
Here is what I have tried:

import numpy as npfrom matplotlib.colors import
LinearSegmentedColormapimport matplotlib.pyplot as pltimport
matplotlib as mplimport matplotlib.cbook as cbookfrom matplotlib._png
import read_pngfrom matplotlib.offsetbox import OffsetImage
cmap = mpl.cm.hot
norm = mpl.colors.Normalize(vmin=-1 * outlier, vmax=outlier)
cmap.set_over('green')
cmap.set_under('green')
cmap.set_bad('green')
plt.xlim(0,35)
plt.ylim(0,35)
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.set_aspect('equal')
cb_ax=fig.add_axes([0.85, 0.1, 0.03, 0.8])
img = ax.imshow(np.ma.masked_values(data, outlier), cmap=cmap,
norm=norm, interpolation='none',vmax=outlier)
cb = mpl.colorbar.ColorbarBase(cb_ax, cmap=cmap, norm=norm,
extend='both')##axim = plt.subplot2grid(shape, loc, rowspan=1)
## phlo tree
image_file = cbook.get_sample_data('mytree.png',asfileobj=False)
image = plt.imread(image_file)
phyl_ax=fig.add_axes([0.10,0.1, 0.03, 0.8])
phyl_ax.imshow(image,interpolation='nearest')

Th heat map would be on the left side and the image of a tree will be
inserted on the right side. The above code gives me the required heat
map but the image I am trying to add on the right side isn't
appearing. Can someone lead me as to how I can go about this?

Thanks
