Description
What kind of feature would you like to request?
Additional function parameters / changed functionality / changed defaults?
Please describe your wishes
Summary
pl.rank_genes_groups_dotplot already supports values_to_plot ('scores'|'logfoldchanges'|'pvals'|'pvals_adj'). Please add the same argument to pl.rank_genes_groups_matrixplot and pl.rank_genes_groups_heatmap so we can plot DE metrics (not only mean expression) with the same RGG gene selection logic.
thanks a lot

Research direction
Start by locating pl.rank_genes_groups_dotplot and the implementations of pl.rank_genes_groups_matrixplot and pl.rank_genes_groups_heatmap. Trace how values_to_plot selects scores, logfoldchanges, pvals, or pvals_adj in dotplot, then identify the relevant plotting tests or examples. Done means both additional functions accept the same argument and plot the selected differential-expression metric while preserving RGG gene selection.
