Similar to the example here I was making a scatter plot with images instead of points. It was great if I was plotting images themselves. But my problem was to plot a scatter plot of scatter plots. See the below image for example:

Yes its crowded, its a bad visualization, but its exploratory data analysis and I just want to traverse the space of mini-scatter plots.
How I managed to do this is as follows:
For each miniscatter, I called
tostring_rgb()
to get a bytes object, and stored those bytestrings in a list without ever callingplt.show()but making sure to callplt.close()so as to
have not too many images open. This way I can still close the figure, but have the image stored in memory.Then to make the larger scatter plot, I used
PIL.Image.frombytes()
before passing it toOffsetImage()as shown in the linked question.
I am now in a situation where I cannot use the pillow (therefore also scikit-image). Does anyone know of a pure matplotlib based approach to do something like this? Specifically can matplotlib itself convert the generated bytestring back to an image for use with OffsetIamge()?
