I had to put an icon on a chart in Python last week, and I couldn’t find a good brief blog about how to do it. Here is what I cobbled together:
1. Find a free, appropriate image from The Noun Project.
2. Load it into Python with plt.imread
3. Draw it in the proper place on a figure with plt.imshow and some cryptic, hacky options.
Looks good, right?
