Inkscape Graphs with Backgrounds

A simple step forward: putting a bitmap illustration behind a graph in Inkscape. I started with a graph that I had already built. Then I opened the Layers menu and added a new layer, which I then placed at the bottom of my layer stack. With that layer active, I imported my jackelope png file that I had taken with my webcam yesterday, and set the opacity to around 45% to gray the picture out. Then came a brief period of resizing the jackelope bitmap using Inkscape's Transform -> Scale widget. And that was it, an illustrated graph.
