Scatter plot images using imshow () in matlab

Question

I am trying to create a scatter chart in MATLAB where the samples are gray scale images, for example: http://isomap.stanford.edu/web2.jpg .

I can do this by first calling the scatter function to create a graph, and then calling the image (x, y, I) for each image, where x (y) is the range along the x axis (y axis) where the image should be built on the original chart.

The problem is that the "image" does not create a good visualization of the images, but the "imshow" does. However, I did not find any arguments in this function, which allows me to indicate where it is possible to build the image inside another plot. Any ideas?

Thank you very much!
