Let’s say I’ve done some clustering on my data (like in the image below) and want to show a representative image (i.e. an MxN matrix) from that cluster overlaid at an (x,y) coordinate near that cluster’s center. Is this possible with Plots.jl?

Thank you!

You could try using `insets`.  
See [one Plots.jl example](https://docs.juliaplots.org/latest/layouts/#Advanced-Layouts) in the docs.

You can do a `heatmap!` on top of a scatter plot

```julia
scatter(10 .* rand(40), 20 .* rand(40))
heatmap!(1:5, 6:15, rand(5,10))

```

This works! Thank you 😃
