Description

We have a usecase where we have a tree structure that relates samples together, and it would be nice to use this within an Empire plot. The general usecase with Empire plots is a tree with tips that correspond to feature-ids, whereas in this instance, the tips of tree correspond to sample-ids.

Is it possible to use the empire plots right now for this situation?

(sorry if this is a replicate issue, I didn't see it when looking though)

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing how Empire plots currently associate tree tips with feature-ids, then determine whether sample-id tips are supported; done would mean a defined approach for using the sample hierarchy in an Empire plot.
