Plotly allows you to display text fields when hovering over a point on a scatterplot. Is it possible to instead display an image associated with each point when the user hovers over or clicks on it? I am mostly just using the web interface, but I could instead push my ggplot from R.

To display a figure using the renderers framework, you call the . show() method on a graph object figure, or pass the figure to the plotly. io. show function.
A background image can be added to the layout of a figure with fig. add_layout_image or by setting the images parameter of go. Layout .
Hover Labels is the most depectively-power feature for interactive visualization in plotly, for user it is the ability to reveal more information about the data points by moving the cursor (mouse) over the point and having a hover label appear.
Unfortunately, there is no easy way to display images on hover on plotly graphs at the moment.
If you are willing to learn some javascript, plotly's embed API allows you to customize hover (as well as click) interactivity.
Here is an example of a custom hover interaction showing images on top of a plotly graph. The javascript source code can be found here.
