Hi All, 

I used the 
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/examples/pylab_examples/scatter_hist.html
scatter_hist example  from the Gallery to create the following
visualization:

http://old.nabble.com/file/p28111498/Full5%252B8%252B2_vs_Bulk1%252B2.png 

What I would like to do is overlay some 
http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0001OR sparklines  
so in one visualization I can see
     - The correlation between two variables
     - The marginal densities of the variables
     - A quick idea of what the variables did in time

I found some Python code for generating sparklines at M
http://www.perrygeo.net/wordpress/?p=64 atthew Perry's blog . The code works
great for my purposes, and the sparklines are dumped out as PNG files, like
this one

http://old.nabble.com/file/p28111498/spark_x.png 

But, all of the examples and forum discussions I can find pertain to using
an image as the background for a set of axes, and then plotting or
contouring over the image. I simply want to overlay a PNG on an existing set
of multiple axes. I know I can use something like Adobe Illustrator to do
this outside of matplotlib, but is there a way to do this programmatically?

Thanks!
