[R] How to draw figures in a graph?

[Greg Snow]

You will want to be very careful in adding things to a plot that are
not conveying information.  One term for these things is "chartjunk"
which should give you a feel for the general opinion about doing this.

If you still feel the need to add to a graph (and promise to think
hard about it and be careful in the implementation that the added
figures do not distort the data) then you can start by looking at the
rasterImage function (and grid.raster for grid based graphics).  The
grImport package could also be useful if your images are in a vector
format, see the import vignette from that package.  Possibly also the
my.symbols function in the TeachingDemos package.
