Description

Hi,

Thank you for the help with the polygons previously. We're trying to investigate some polygons of interest but we get different cells selected when we investigate the same regions in Xenium explorer as opposed to spatialdata. I'm assuming they would be cells on the edge of the region (110 cells differ in a selection of ~12800). Is there any way to plot these cells, by cell id, that differ to be sure?

Thank you!

Best wishes,
Emily

Research direction

The report concerns differing cell selections between spatialdata and Xenium Explorer, with a request to plot the differing cell IDs. No files, tests, or entry points are named; first reproduce the same region selection in both tools, then identify how selected cell IDs are obtained and visualized. Done means the discrepancy can be explained and the differing cells can be inspected by ID.
