Description

I would like to visualize a dendrogram from scanpy.pl.heatmap() without the heatmap, grouped by louvain clusters. It would be nice to have the louvain clusters as the x-axis and the y-axis representative of OOBE or some other metric for cluster scores (similar to Seurat).

Is there some obvious method for doing this that I have not seen? I realize that adata.uns['dendrogram'] contains dendrogram information; however, I am unsure of how to use the information to generate a dendrogram within scanpy.

Research direction

Start by reading scanpy.pl.heatmap() and the dendrogram information stored in adata.uns['dendrogram']; the issue does not name a source file or test. Clarify how standalone visualization should group louvain clusters and represent cluster scores, then define completion around producing the requested dendrogram without the heatmap.
