heatmap cluster-color bar

[ShobiStassen]

Hi,
I would like to set the scatterplot color palette and the heatmap cluster-color bar palette to be the same so that the clusters in the scatterplot are the same as those in the heatmap cluster-color-bar. I am using matplotlib to plot a scatterplot (using some other embedding) and need the cluster colors to match those in the automatic colorbar on the heatmap clusterbar.
If i globally set the palette using sc.set_figure_params() then the values of the heatmap plot also become the global cmap (rather than a gradient of red-blue or existing default)
Thanks for your help
Shobi

In principle the scatter plot and the the heatmap use the same colors. See for example: https://scanpy-tutorials.readthedocs.io/en/latest/visualizing-marker-genes.html#Heatmaps

The colors on the left are the same colors stored for the scatter plot clusters.

If the issue is continuous color maps, that can be specified with the cmap parameter.
