Circle Plot, interpretation

[soniyalama]

Hi, and thanks for the clear communication here. I wondered what interactions exactly are included in the circle plot (as you can see in the example dataset), as I couldn't derive it from the code. It doesn't seem to use a top # interactions. I also don't believe the circle plot contains all interactions present in liana_res. Could you resolve this for me? Is it correct to say that the thickness of the link (from ligand to receptor) represents the magnitude of the interaction and that the size of the nodes (cell types) represents the number of interactions with this celltype?

Thanks,
Soniya Lama.

Hi @soniyalama,

I updated the docs to now reflect that by default it will simply count. You could also pass 'mean', if you wish to instead use the scoring function's average to represent the importance of the edges.

Hope this helps!
