Scrollable or expandable legend

Open sanghoonio opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Is there a way we can configure the legend in the EmbeddingView component to show more than 10 categories without lumping the rest into (other x)? Single cell sequencing annotations often result in a lot of different labels and so this can be quite limiting:

That's somewhat by design since we don't have more than 10 colors anyway. Can you not map the annotations to color and instead label differently?

You can make a separate chart to see the other values. The legend can only have so many values because of the number of colors we can use. Happy to discuss other design alternatives but we are running against limits of human perception here.
