Is it possible to plot an image, i.e., draw it's pixels against usual coordinates? My goal is to plot my image and my function in the same coordinates.

Update

I drew an image of size 200x100 and drew a spot at 100,50. When plotting it should coincide with actual coordinates, but it doesn't.

enter image description here

i.e. image takes random size and random scale both unrelated with plot size and scale. While I need each pixel be located at it's correct coordinates, not only image corner.

Update 2

Why Image is not a Graphics primitive or directive?

    $\begingroup$ The image pixels are square so you will need to use AspectRatio -> Automatic in your plot. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ If you would rather have the image distort to match the aspect ratio of the plot, you could use Prolog -> Raster@Reverse@ImageData@im $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You have to set up AspectRatio if you specify the PlotRange: AspectRatio -> 1/Divide @@ ImageDimensions[im]. $\endgroup$

I think you may want something like this:

Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}, 
 Prolog -> Inset[ex, {0, 0}, {0, 0}, {Automatic, 1}]]

First you plot your function and then, using Inset, you insert your image into the plot. The fourth parameter given to Inset is the size given in the coordinate system of the plot.

Prolog draws the image before the plot is drawn. Epilog would do the same but draw the image after the plot is drawn, on top of it.
