Plotting different conditions together using pl.ligrec

[Tonyspuri]

Hi all,

Thanks a lot for developing the great package. I've been using it for ligand receptor analysis and more recently with accumulation of different datasets, I would like to plot differences between two or more different conditions. I can generate dot plots for each library individually but didn't manage to plot multiple timepoints in a single plot. Is it something doable with pl.logrec plotting?

Cheers! ...

thanks for interest in Squidpy @Tonyspuri , can you elaborate more what are you trying to do? I don't think is in scope to run lig_rec across different slides, so I'd maybe compute it for each slide separately and then find a way to aggregate them?

I have scRNA-seq datasets from different conditions e.g. WT vs mutant and basically would like to plot lig_rec dotplots on the same plot next to each other. Right now I generate separate dictionaries for the individual libraries and I can plot them separately but we can't plot different conditions together. If I understand correctly I have to find a way to merge different dictionaries and plot them afterwards?

*Edit: Actually aggregating dictionaries solved my question, added sample specific annotations and it worked well.

I saw that Keyword arguments can be used from Scanpy dot plot legend and style, is there any other options planned to be added to pl.ligrec? like .get_axes()?

hi @Tonyspuri indeed you'd have to tweak sc.DotPlot , this is not a priority for now but happy to support if you want to submit a PR. Othewise, I would close this.
