Research direction
Start by reviewing Scanpy's existing heatmap functionality and the linked example image to determine how annotations are currently represented. Define the expected behavior for multiple annotation variables and how users would specify them; the work is done when the requested tissue, age, time-point, and similar annotations can be displayed together with documented behavior and coverage.
