I am doing a dimensional reduction experiment, where a set of faces will be places onto a X-Y plane. I want to show the real face at each point in the plot (Example: Figure 10 at the page 476). Can I do this in R? Thank you.

    You will probably need some add-on packages like png and raster to achieve this.
    So first up, make sure you have the packages loaded.

    library(png)
library(raster)

    Now, get an image (an awesome squiggle I made in ms paint – saved as spotimg.png):

    enter image description here

    Load the image into R and plot it:

    pngimg <- readPNG("spotimg.png")
plot(NA,xlim=c(0,10),ylim=c(0,10))
rasterImage(pngimg,4.5,4.5,5,5)

    The last 4 inputs to the rasterImage call give the coordinates of the image’s boundary in the format xleft, ybottom, xright, ytop

    And bingo, there’s your image plotted where you specified.
