Research direction

Start by reproducing the HoverLocator behavior through FeaturePlot and DimPlot, then inspect how the Plotly showlegend and colorscale options are handled. Done means a colorscale bar or legend is displayed for expression levels or cluster names in these plots.

Description

Hello,

I'm facing difficulty generating the colorscale bar (legend) for expression levels (or cluster names) in FeaturePlot and DimPlot using HoverLocator. Tried showlegend and colorscale from Plotly without success. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Akshay
