Can I write text, or add a specific text label to individual squares of an ArrayPlot[...] graphic? Specifically, I would like to assign an two-dimensional integer coordinate label to each square.

There might be an easier way, but what about this:

array = RandomInteger[100, {10, 10}];
arrayPlot = ArrayPlot[array, ImageSize -> 500, PlotRangePadding -> 0]

grid 1

numbers = 
 Graphics[{White, 
   Table[Text[ 
      StringJoin[ToString /@ {n , ", ", m}], 
   {n - 0.5, m - 0.5}], 
   {n, 1, 10}, {m, 1, 10}]}]

Show[arrayPlot, numbers]

grid 2

Coordinates in the form needed by Part:

data = RandomReal[1, {5, 7}];

{x, y} = Dimensions @ data;

f[x_, y_, shift_] := Array[Text[{x - #2 + 1, #}, {##} - shift] &, {y, x}]

ArrayPlot[data, Epilog -> {Black, f[x, y, 0.49], White, f[x, y, 0.51]}]

Mathematica graphics
