Is there a way to read images stored locally into Plotly?

问题

In the code below another user has successfully demonstrated a workaround on how to load an image URL into a Plotly graph. The image data is taken from the data frame and then, by employing the custom data tool, appears as a tooltip on hover at each data point in the graph. Is there a way to do something similar using images stored locally, simply using the file directory?

library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(plotly)

# Data ------------------------------------------------------------------
dt <- data.frame(
  fruits = c("apple", "banana", "oranges"),
  rank = c(11, 22, 33),
  image_url = c(

  )
)

# Dashboard ----------------------------------------------------------------
ui <- dashboardPage(
  dashboardHeader(title = "Test"),
  dashboardSidebar(),
  dashboardBody(tags$head(tags$style(
    HTML("img.small-img {
          max-width: 75px;
          }")
  )),
  plotlyOutput("hoverplot"))
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {
  output$hoverplot <- renderPlotly({
    plot_ly(
      dt,
      x         = ~ fruits,
      y         = ~ rank,
      type      = 'scatter',
      mode      = 'markers',
      hoverinfo = 'none',
      source = "hoverplotsource",
      customdata = ~ image_url
    ) %>%
      event_register('plotly_hover') %>%
      event_register('plotly_unhover')
  })

  hover_event <- reactive({
    event_data(event = "plotly_hover", source = "hoverplotsource")
  })

  unhover_event <- reactive({
    event_data(event = "plotly_unhover", source = "hoverplotsource")
  })

  hoverplotlyProxy <- plotlyProxy("hoverplot", session)

  observeEvent(unhover_event(), {
    hoverplotlyProxy %>%
      plotlyProxyInvoke("relayout", list(images = list(NULL)))
  })

  observeEvent(hover_event(), {
    hoverplotlyProxy %>%
      plotlyProxyInvoke("relayout", list(images = list(
        list(
          source = hover_event()$customdata,
          xref = "x",
          yref = "y",
          x = hover_event()$x,
          y = hover_event()$y,
          sizex = 20,
          sizey = 20,
          opacity = 1
        )
      )))
  })
}

You'll need to add the directory, in which your local images are stored, as a static resource to Shiny's web server. This can be done via addResourcePath:

library(shiny)
library(shinydashboard)
library(plotly)

ui <- dashboardPage(
  dashboardHeader(title = "Test"),
  dashboardSidebar(),
  dashboardBody(tags$head(tags$style(
    HTML("img.small-img {
          max-width: 75px;
          }")
  )),
  plotlyOutput("hoverplot"))
)

server <- function(input, output, session) {

  # create some local images
  if(!dir.exists("myimages")){
    dir.create("myimages")
  }

  myPlots <- paste0("myimages/myplot", seq_len(3), ".png")

  for (myPlot in myPlots) {
    png(file = myPlot, bg = "transparent")
    plot(runif(10))
    dev.off() 
  }

  myImgResources <- paste0("imgResources/myplot", seq_len(3), ".png")

  dt <- data.frame(
    fruits = c("apple", "banana", "oranges"),
    rank = c(11, 22, 33),
    image_url = myImgResources
  )

  # Add directory of static resources to Shiny's web server
  addResourcePath(prefix = "imgResources", directoryPath = "myimages")

  output$hoverplot <- renderPlotly({
    plot_ly(
      dt,
      x         = ~ fruits,
      y         = ~ rank,
      type      = 'scatter',
      mode      = 'markers',
      hoverinfo = 'none',
      source = "hoverplotsource",
      customdata = ~ image_url
    ) %>%
      event_register('plotly_hover') %>%
      event_register('plotly_unhover')
  })

  hover_event <- reactive({
    event_data(event = "plotly_hover", source = "hoverplotsource")
  })

  unhover_event <- reactive({
    event_data(event = "plotly_unhover", source = "hoverplotsource")
  })

  hoverplotlyProxy <- plotlyProxy("hoverplot", session)

  observeEvent(unhover_event(), {
    hoverplotlyProxy %>%
      plotlyProxyInvoke("relayout", list(images = list(NULL)))
  })

  observeEvent(hover_event(), {
    hoverplotlyProxy %>%
      plotlyProxyInvoke("relayout", list(images = list(
        list(
          source = hover_event()$customdata,
          xref = "x",
          yref = "y",
          x = hover_event()$x,
          y = hover_event()$y,
          sizex = 20,
          sizey = 20,
          opacity = 1
        )
      )))
  })
}

shinyApp(ui = ui, server = server)

As an alternative you can store your images in a www folder (subdirectory of your app folder), then you can access your images without a prefix.
