Hi scanpy team
Thank you for the excellent package! I would like to request a new legend_loc parameter for the sc.pl.umap function.
If sc.pl.umap could plot the cluster names on the "right margin", but at the same time assign a number to each cluster and plot that number "on data", we should be able to distinguish the clusters better.. Currently the labels sometimes take up too much of space when I put the legend "on data". On the other hand the the colors get confusing for >15 clusters clusters if I put the legend on "right margin".
Best,
Vivek

Research direction
Start at the sc.pl.umap entry point and inspect how its current legend_loc options place cluster labels. Determine how to support both right-margin names and numbered labels on the data, then verify that the existing legend modes still work and that the new combined behavior distinguishes clusters clearly.
