Hi ,

We have made a boxplot which works fine where each box represents some bit information now we would like to have the characters on the plot instead of the box e.g. instead of a red box we would like to have B on the boxplot but have not been able to find snippets or any examples to get started - any suggestions how to do this. To summarize we would like to use the interactive boxplot as found here: [https://plotly.com/python/v3/logos/](https://plotly.com/python/v3/logos/) but would like to add a logo/character on the plot instead of the default box - any suggestions or examples highly appreciated - thanks!
