Visualize how continuous & categorical metadata values relate

See original GitHub issue

The current app does a great job of showing how categorical metadata values relate to one another via “cluster occupancy”. For example, I can see how mouse.id varies by louvain cluster assignment.

However, I frequently want to visualize how continuous metadata values relate to categorical metadata values. For example, how does expression of myfavoritegene vary by louvain cluster assignment?

Hi @cakirb! We’re really excited to get this feature into an upcoming release. We’re about to release v0.10.0, and our hope is that we’ll have this feature included in either v0.11.0, or v0.12.0. This will likely be by mid-June or mid-July 2019.
