Description

What kind of feature would you like to request?

Other?

Please describe your wishes

There are two levels of shared parameters that people could benefit from:

  1. Multiple Notebooks that work with the same data and could benefit from shared configuration, e.g. labels and color maps defined for a certain axis/annotation
  2. Plotting using the same labels, color map or so. This could be achieved using object oriented plotting (todo issue number)

Having shared configuration files could be achieved either by direct support in the plotting functions (x='cell type') or by adding a convenience function that loads a config object.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing plotting functions and the related object-oriented plotting todo, then compare direct configuration support with a configuration-loading convenience function. Done should define and implement a clear way to share labels and color maps across notebooks and plots.
