Display custom image as geom_point [duplicate]

by

The point geom is used to create scatterplots, and doesn’t quite seem to be designed to do what you need, ie, display custom images. However, a similar question was answered here, which indicates that the problem can be solved in the following steps:

(1) Read the custom images you want to display,

(2) Render raster objects at the given location, size, and orientation using the rasterGrob() function,

(3) Use a plotting function such as qplot(),

(4) Use a geom such as annotation_custom() for use as static annotations specifying the crude adjustments for x and y limits as mentioned by user20650.

Using the code below, I could get two custom images img1.png and img2.png positioned at the given xmin, xmax, ymin, and ymax.

library(png)
library(ggplot2)
library(gridGraphics)
setwd("c:/MyFolder/")

img1 <- readPNG("img1.png")
img2 <- readPNG("img2.png")
g1 <- rasterGrob(img1, interpolate=FALSE)
g2 <- rasterGrob(img2, interpolate=FALSE)
qplot(1:10, 1:10, geom="blank") + 
  annotation_custom(g1, xmin=1, xmax=3, ymin=1, ymax=3) +
  annotation_custom(g2, xmin=7, xmax=9, ymin=7, ymax=9) +  
  geom_point()
