What is the optimal threshold value of joint density? #7

Dear Nebulosa group: Thanks for your wonderful work in single cell visualization! I've found that for well expressed markers, there's great performance. But for some obviously wrong combinations, it will show a bad result,because of the joint density value. What is the best threshold? Can I adjust the maximum value manually?

Hi @yuGithuuub, thanks for your observation. Most densities are non-zero, resulting in low joint densities values when markers are not "co-expressed". We are currently working on improving the visualization for this scenario. Any recommendations or feedback are very well welcome.

Looking forward to the improved version！

Hi. Do you have an update on this? On how to set thresholds for the joint densities?
