Circular plot unable to specify source and target

[RunyuXia]

Hi! I’m currently using the circle_plot function to visualize interactions between selected source and target cell types. However, I’ve run into some issues — the filtering doesn’t seem to be working as expected. I’ve tried several approaches, including:

Passing a filter_fun to restrict interactions by source, target, and score;
Manually filtering the liana_res dataframe and passing it directly;
Specifying source_labels and target_labels based on the documentation and source code.
Despite this, the plot still shows all interactions. I’d really appreciate any advice or clarification on how to properly restrict the plot to selected cell types.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @RunyuXia,

Can you please provide a minimal reproducible example where I could see the issue?

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for your reply! The function seems to needs an AnnData object to run, passing only liana_res doesn’t work on my end. Also I can only get the plot to behave as expected when I provide source_labels or target_labels as a single string (i.e., one cell type). If I pass a list, the plot ignores the subset and instead displays all cell types with all pairwise interactions.

我也遇到了同样的问题，后面准备还是手动删除吧
