Excel had this feature in the 1997 version, a mapping feature which it
removed from the program. You can fake it but nevertheless, this feature has
been removed and is no longer included.

I'm not referring to the Microsoft Map thematic mapping feature, that
was removed after (I think) MS developed it as a separate application
called MapPoint. I'm talking about a scatter graph on a picture.

(I've also done it with bubble graphs, but that's less convenient as
there is no easy way to make the bubble radius scale properly)

Are you saying that Excel no longer supports the use of pictures as
backgrounds to the plot area?
