I have a simple bar plot in matplotlib for which I would like to add images instead of the text on the y axis. I want to load the images from the working directory. Some of the current code looks as follows:
animals = ['cat', 'dog', 'pig']
weight = [3, 10, 50]
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1)
colors = [red, blue]
p = ax.barh(x, y, height=0.8, alpha=1, color=colors)
ax.set_title("Animal Weight")
ax.bar_label(p, labels=y, padding=5)
plt.savefig("placement.png")
But the instead of the animal names on the y axis as labels I would like to have images. I am unsure how to approach this issue.
