Clipping warning when plotting images #416

Closed

Description

@LucaMarconato

To reproduce, please run the notebook from this PR, which doesn't require any data (it uses the one from squidpy).

The code cell

fig, axs = plt.subplots(1, 3, figsize=(18, 5))

sdata.pl.render_images().pl.render_shapes(color="array_row").pl.show(ax=axs[0], title="Row")

sdata.pl.render_images().pl.render_shapes(color="array_col").pl.show(ax=axs[1], title="Col")

sdata.pl.render_images().pl.render_shapes(color="mt-Cytb").pl.show(ax=axs[2], title="mt-Cytb")

leads to me to these warnings. Here I would like to report the one on the clipped data range.

Clipping input data to the valid range for imshow with RGB data ([0..1] for floats or [0..255] for integers). Got range [-0.04347826..1.0].

    @MeyerBender could reproduce this in spatialproteomics.

    This occurs in the first plot here. It should look like the first plot here.

    Original comment from Meyer:

    • right at the start, when rendering the image, spatialdata-plot throws this warning: Clipping input data to the valid range for imshow with RGB data ([0..1] for floats or [0..255] for integers). Got range [0.0..1.4367858515955403]. The images are originally 16-bit integers. I have checked the maximum value of the image, and it is certainly not 1.43… I am not sure if this is an issue with 16-bit support, but in any case the warning seems misleading.
