Dear Jesper,

I am reaching out to you regarding your impressive work with gganatogram. This is so precious! Your tool is really inspiring to plot our data in a more comprehensive way. I have some questions: Is there a way to expand the list of tissues (e.g. occipital cortex)? or adapt some (e.g. split lymphoid tissues into axillary, mesentary, mediastinal, split colon into right and left colon…)? Also regarding the grouping, I am particularly interested into research focusing on CNS and on genital tract. Is there a way to smooth the plotting and increase resolution (like in ggseg3d) ? For example, I like how the brain and human body are shown in the expression atlas (frontal and sagittal view) If you are interested/have time, we can continue to chat over email.

thank you!

Hello just following up on that. I am still looking for a 'tissue library' that could include the following brain areas as below. Sagittal and coronal sections. I can't find any package... any advices on how to proceed?

thank you!

Have to looked at ggseg (https://github.com/ggseg/ggseg)? It's a package designed just for brain regions.

I found this one and it is indeed the closest to what I need but I am having a hard time reconciling the region of interest for our study: frontal cortex pre-frontal cortex occipital cortex cerebellum hippocampus pons medulla spinal cord

thank you so much!
