        Render shapes elements in SpatialData.

        In case of no elements specified, "broadcasting" of parameters is applied. This means that for any particular
        SpatialElement, we validate whether a given parameter is valid. If not valid for a particular SpatialElement the
        specific parameter for that particular SpatialElement will be ignored. If you want to set specific parameters
        for specific elements please chain the render functions: `pl.render_points(...).pl.render_points(...).pl.show()`
        .

        Parameters
        ----------
        element : str | None, optional
            The name of the shapes element to render. If `None`, all shapes elements in the `SpatialData` object will be
            used.
        color : ColorLike | None, optional
            Can either be color-like (name of a color as string, e.g. "red", hex representation, e.g. "#000000" or
            "#000000ff", or an RGB(A) array as a tuple or list containing 3-4 floats within [0, 1]. If an alpha value is
            indicated, the value of `fill_alpha` takes precedence if given) or a string representing a key in
            :attr:`sdata.table.obs`. The latter can be used to color by categorical or continuous variables. If
            `element` is `None`, if possible the color will be broadcasted to all elements. For this, the table in which
            the color key is found must annotate the respective element (region must be set to the specific element). If
            the color column is found in multiple locations, please provide the table_name to be used for the elements.
        fill_alpha : float | int | None, optional
            Alpha value for the fill of shapes. By default, it is set to 1.0 or, if a color is given that implies an
            alpha, that value is used for `fill_alpha`. If an alpha channel is present in a cmap passed by the user,
            `fill_alpha` will overwrite the value present in the cmap.
        groups : list[str] | str | None
            When using `color` and the key represents discrete labels, `groups` can be used to show only a subset of
            them. By default, non-matching elements are hidden. To show non-matching elements, set ``na_color``
            explicitly.
            If element is None, broadcasting behaviour is attempted (use the same values for all elements).
        palette : dict[str, str] | list[str] | str | None
            Palette for discrete annotations. Can be a dictionary mapping category names to colors, a list of valid
            color names (must match the number of groups), a single named palette or matplotlib colormap name, or
            ``None``. If element is None, broadcasting behaviour is attempted (use the same values for all elements).
        na_color : ColorLike | None, optional
            Color for NA values and, when ``groups`` is set, for non-matching elements. When omitted, non-matching
            elements are hidden. Pass any explicit color (e.g. ``"lightgray"``) to show them in that color instead.
            Accepts a named color (``"red"``), a hex string (``"#000000ff"``), or an RGB/RGBA list
            (``[1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]``). Pass ``None`` to make NA values fully transparent.
        outline_width : float | int | tuple[float | int, float | int], optional
            Width of the border. If 2 values are given (tuple), 2 borders are shown with these widths (outer & inner).
            If `outline_color` and/or `outline_alpha` are used to indicate that one/two outlines should be drawn, the
            default outline widths 1.5 and 0.5 are used for outer/only and inner outline respectively.
        outline_color : ColorLike | tuple[ColorLike], optional
            Color of the border. Can either be a named color ("red"), a hex representation ("#000000") or a list of
            floats that represent RGB/RGBA values (1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0). If the hex representation includes alpha, e.g.
            "#000000ff", and `outline_alpha` is not given, this value controls the opacity of the outline. If 2 values
            are given (tuple), 2 borders are shown with these colors (outer & inner). If `outline_width` and/or
            `outline_alpha` are used to indicate that one/two outlines should be drawn, the default outline colors
            "#000000" and "#ffffff are used for outer/only and inner outline respectively.
        outline_alpha : float | int | tuple[float | int, float | int] | None, optional
            Alpha value for the outline of shapes. Invisible by default, meaning outline_alpha=0.0 if both outline_color
            and outline_width are not specified. Else, outlines are rendered with the alpha implied by outline_color, or
            with outline_alpha=1.0 if outline_color does not imply an alpha. For two outlines, alpha values can be
            passed in a tuple of length 2.
        cmap : Colormap | str | None, optional
            Colormap for continuous annotations using 'color', see :class:`matplotlib.colors.Colormap`.
            For categorical data, use ``palette`` instead.
        norm : Normalize | None, optional
            Colormap normalization for continuous annotations, see :class:`matplotlib.colors.Normalize`.
        scale : float | int, default 1.0
            Value to scale shapes (circles and polygons).
        method : str | None, optional
            Whether to use ``'matplotlib'`` or ``'datashader'``. When ``None``, the method is
            chosen automatically based on the size of the data (datashader for >10 000 elements).
        colorbar : bool | str | None, default "auto"
            Whether to request a colorbar for continuous colors. Use ``"auto"`` (default) for automatic selection.
        colorbar_params : dict[str, object] | None
            Parameters forwarded to Matplotlib's colorbar alongside layout hints such as ``loc``, ``width``, ``pad``,
            and ``label``.
        table_name: str | None
            Name of the table containing the color(s) columns. If one name is given than the table is used for each
            spatial element to be plotted if the table annotates it. If you want to use different tables for particular
            elements, as specified under element.
        table_layer: str | None
            Layer of the table to use for coloring if `color` is in :attr:`sdata.table.var_names`. If None, the data in
            :attr:`sdata.table.X` is used for coloring.
        gene_symbols: str | None
            Column name in :attr:`sdata.table.var` to use for looking up ``color``. Use this when
            ``var_names`` are e.g. ENSEMBL IDs but you want to refer to genes by their symbols stored
            in another column of ``var``. Mimics scanpy's ``gene_symbols`` parameter.
        shape: Literal["circle", "hex", "visium_hex", "square"] | None
            If None (default), the shapes are rendered as they are. Else, if either of "circle", "hex" or "square" is
            specified, the shapes are converted to a circle/hexagon/square before rendering. If "visium_hex" is
            specified, the shapes are assumed to be Visium spots and the size of the hexagons is adjusted to be adjacent
            to each other.
        datashader_reduction : Literal["sum", "mean", "any", "count", "std", "var", "max", "min"] | None, optional
            Reduction method for datashader when coloring by continuous values. When ``None``, defaults to ``"max"``.
        transfunc : Callable[[float], float] | None, optional
            Optional transformation applied to the continuous color vector before normalization and colormap mapping.

        Notes
        -----
        - Empty geometries will be removed at the time of plotting.
        - An `outline_width` of 0.0 leads to no border being plotted.
        - If ``color`` is a string that is both a matplotlib color name and a column name in the
          element or an annotating table, a ``ValueError`` is raised. Disambiguate by passing
          a hex string (e.g. ``"#ffa500"``) or an RGB(A) tuple, or by renaming the column.

        Returns
        -------
        sd.SpatialData

        Parameters
        ----------
        element : str | None, optional
            The name of the points element to render. If `None`, all points elements in the `SpatialData` object will be
            used.
        color : ColorLike | None, optional

            "#000000ff", or an RGB(A) array as a tuple or list containing 3-4 floats within [0, 1]. If an alpha value is

            the color column is found in multiple locations, please provide the table_name to be used for the elements.
        alpha : float | int | None, optional
            Alpha value for the points. By default, it is set to 1.0 or, if a color is given that implies an alpha, that
            value is used instead.
        groups : list[str] | str | None
            When using `color` and the key represents discrete labels, `groups` can be used to show only a subset of
            them. By default, non-matching points are filtered out entirely. To show non-matching points, set
            ``na_color`` explicitly.
            If element is None, broadcasting behaviour is attempted (use the same values for all elements).
        palette : dict[str, str] | list[str] | str | None
            Palette for discrete annotations. Can be a dictionary mapping category names to colors, a list of valid
            color names (must match the number of groups), a single named palette or matplotlib colormap name, or
            ``None``. If `element` is `None`, broadcasting behaviour is attempted (use the same values for all
            elements).
        na_color : ColorLike | None, optional
            Color for NA values and, when ``groups`` is set, for non-matching points. When omitted, non-matching
            points are hidden. Pass any explicit color (e.g. ``"lightgray"``) to show them in that color instead.
            Accepts a named color (``"red"``), a hex string (``"#000000ff"``), or an RGB/RGBA list
            (``[1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]``). Pass ``None`` to make NA values fully transparent.
        cmap : Colormap | str | None, optional
            Colormap for continuous annotations using 'color', see :class:`matplotlib.colors.Colormap`. If
            no palette is given and `color` refers to a categorical, the colors are sampled from this colormap.
        norm : Normalize | None, optional
            Colormap normalization for continuous annotations, see :class:`matplotlib.colors.Normalize`.
        size : float | int, default 1.0
            Size of the points.
        method : str | None, optional
            Whether to use ``'matplotlib'`` or ``'datashader'``. When ``None``, the method is
            chosen automatically based on the size of the data (datashader for >10 000 elements).
        colorbar : bool | str | None, default "auto"
            Whether to request a colorbar for continuous colors. Use ``"auto"`` (default) for automatic selection.
        colorbar_params : dict[str, object] | None
            Parameters forwarded to Matplotlib's colorbar alongside layout hints such as ``loc``, ``width``, ``pad``,
            and ``label``.
        table_name: str | None
            Name of the table containing the color(s) columns. If one name is given than the table is used for each
            spatial element to be plotted if the table annotates it. If you want to use different tables for particular
            elements, as specified under element.
        table_layer: str | None
            Layer of the table to use for coloring if `color` is in :attr:`sdata.table.var_names`. If None, the data in
            :attr:`sdata.table.X` is used for coloring.
        gene_symbols: str | None
            Column name in :attr:`sdata.table.var` to use for looking up ``color``. Use this when
            ``var_names`` are e.g. ENSEMBL IDs but you want to refer to genes by their symbols stored
            in another column of ``var``. Mimics scanpy's ``gene_symbols`` parameter.
        datashader_reduction : Literal["sum", "mean", "any", "count", "std", "var", "max", "min"] | None, optional
            Reduction method for datashader when coloring by continuous values. When ``None``, defaults to ``"sum"``.
        density : bool, default False
            Render the points as a 2-D count density via datashader instead of plotting individual markers.
            When ``True``, ``method`` is forced to ``"datashader"`` (passing ``method="matplotlib"`` raises).
            Density supports ``color=None`` (plain density) or a categorical ``color`` column (per-category
            density via :func:`datashader.by`). A continuous ``color`` column or a literal color value
            (e.g. ``"red"``) raises an error. Under ``density=True`` the following parameters are ignored
            (with a warning if explicitly set): ``size``, ``transfunc``, ``norm.vmin/vmax``, and
            ``datashader_reduction``.
        density_how : Literal["linear", "log", "cbrt", "eq_hist"], default "linear"
            How datashader maps aggregated counts to color intensity. ``"linear"`` (default) keeps the
            colorbar axis as a count; ``"log"`` and ``"cbrt"`` compress dynamic range; ``"eq_hist"``
            equalizes the histogram (rank-based, surfaces the most structure but the colorbar axis is
            no longer a count). Ignored when ``density=False``.
        transfunc : Callable[[float], float] | None, optional
            Optional transformation applied to the continuous color vector before normalization and colormap mapping.

        .

        Parameters
        ----------
        element : str | None
            The name of the image element to render. If `None`, all image
            elements in the `SpatialData` object will be used and all parameters will be broadcasted if possible.
        channel : list[str] | list[int] | str | int | None
            To select specific channels to plot. Can be a single channel name/int or a
            list of channel names/ints. If `None`, all channels will be used.
        cmap : list[Colormap | str] | Colormap | str | None
            Colormap or list of colormaps for continuous annotations, see :class:`matplotlib.colors.Colormap`.
            Each colormap applies to a corresponding channel.
        norm : list[Normalize] | Normalize | None, optional
            Colormap normalization for continuous annotations, see :class:`matplotlib.colors.Normalize`.
            A single :class:`~matplotlib.colors.Normalize` applies to all channels.
            A list of :class:`~matplotlib.colors.Normalize` objects applies per-channel
            (length must match the number of channels).
        palette : list[str] | str | None
            Palette to color images. Can be a single palette name (broadcast to all channels) or a list
            matching the number of channels.
        alpha : float | int, default 1.0
            Alpha value for the images. Must be a numeric between 0 and 1.
        scale : str | None
            Influences the resolution of the rendering. Possibilities include:
                1) `None` (default): The image is rasterized to fit the canvas size. For
                multiscale images, the best scale is selected before rasterization.
                2) A scale name: Renders the specified scale ( of a multiscale image) as-is
                (with adjustments for dpi in `show()`).
                3) "full": Renders the full image without rasterization. In the case of
                multiscale images, the highest resolution scale is selected. Note that
                this may result in long computing times for large images.
        grayscale : bool, default False
            Convert the image to grayscale before rendering using luminance
            weights (Rec. 601: 0.2989 R + 0.5870 G + 0.1140 B). Requires
            exactly 3 channels at the point of conversion — if ``transfunc``
            is also provided, it runs first, and the result must have 3
            channels. The grayscale image is rendered as a single-channel
            image with ``cmap="gray"`` unless an explicit ``cmap`` is given.
            Useful for de-emphasising H&E tissue when overlaying colored
            annotations. Cannot be combined with ``palette``.
        transfunc : callable or list of callables, optional
            Transform(s) applied to the raw image array before normalization
            and rendering.

            **Single callable**: receives a numpy array of shape ``(c, y, x)``
            (channels first) and must return an array of the same layout.
            The number of channels may change (e.g., stain deconvolution).
            Elementwise functions like ``np.log1p`` broadcast naturally.
            Note that reductions like ``np.percentile`` will compute a
            *single* value across all channels.

            **List of callables**: one per channel (length must match the
            number of selected channels). Each receives a ``(y, x)`` array
            for its channel and must return a ``(y, x)`` array. Use this
            when each channel needs independent treatment (e.g., different
            gamma corrections for different fluorescence markers).

            When combined with ``grayscale=True``, ``transfunc`` runs first
            and ``grayscale`` is applied to the result.
        colorbar : bool | str | None, default "auto"
            Whether to request a colorbar for continuous colors. Use ``"auto"`` (default) for automatic selection.
        colorbar_params : dict[str, object] | None
            Parameters forwarded to Matplotlib's colorbar alongside layout hints such as ``loc``, ``width``, ``pad``,
            and ``label``.
        channels_as_legend : bool, default False
            When ``True`` and rendering multiple channels, show a categorical
            legend mapping each channel name to its compositing color.  The
            legend uses the ``legend_*`` parameters from :meth:`show`.
            Ignored for single-channel and RGB(A) images.  When multiple
            ``render_images`` calls use this flag on the same axes, all
            channel entries are combined into a single legend.

        Notes
        -----
        - **RGB(A) auto-detection**: when the channel names are exactly ``{r, g, b}`` or ``{r, g, b, a}``
          (case-insensitive) and no explicit ``cmap`` or ``palette`` is given, the image is rendered as
          true-color RGB(A) without colormaps.
        - **Multi-channel compositing**: when multiple channels are rendered with per-channel colormaps,
          they are additively blended. Colormaps that go from a color to white (rather than to transparent)
          will cause upper layers to occlude lower ones.
        - A single ``cmap`` is automatically broadcast to all selected channels.

            elements in the `SpatialData` object will be used and all parameters will be broadcasted if possible.
        color : ColorLike | None
            Can either be color-like (name of a color as string, e.g. "red", hex representation, e.g. "#000000" or
            "#000000ff", or an RGB(A) array as a tuple or list containing 3-4 floats within [0, 1]. If an alpha value
            is indicated, the value of `fill_alpha` takes precedence if given) or a string representing a key in
            :attr:`sdata.table.obs` or in the index of :attr:`sdata.table.var`. The latter can be used to color by
            categorical or continuous variables. If the color column is found in multiple locations, please provide the
            table_name to be used for the element if you would like a specific table to be used.
        groups : list[str] | str | None
            When using `color` and the key represents discrete labels, `groups` can be used to show only a subset of
            them. By default, non-matching labels are hidden. To show non-matching labels, set ``na_color`` explicitly.
        palette : dict[str, str] | list[str] | str | None
            Palette for discrete annotations. Can be a dictionary mapping category names to colors, a list of valid
            color names (must match the number of groups), a single named palette or matplotlib colormap name, or
            ``None``.
        contour_px : int, default 3
            Draw contour of specified width for each segment. Must be >= 2; ``contour_px=1`` is rejected
            because a 1x1 erosion is the identity transformation and produces no visible outline. If
            ``None``, fills entire segment, see :func:`skimage.morphology.erosion`.
        cmap : Colormap | str | None, optional
            Colormap for continuous annotations using 'color', see :class:`matplotlib.colors.Colormap`.
            For categorical data, use ``palette`` instead.
        norm : Normalize | None, optional
            Colormap normalization for continuous annotations, see :class:`matplotlib.colors.Normalize`.
        na_color : ColorLike | None, optional
            Color for NA values and, when ``groups`` is set, for non-matching labels. When omitted, non-matching
            labels are hidden. Pass any explicit color (e.g. ``"lightgray"``) to show them in that color instead.
            Accepts a named color (``"red"``), a hex string (``"#000000ff"``), or an RGB/RGBA list
            (``[1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0]``). Pass ``None`` to make NA values fully transparent.
        outline_alpha : float | int, default 0.0
            Alpha value for the outline of the labels. Invisible by default.
        fill_alpha : float | int | None, optional
            Alpha value for the fill of the labels. By default, it is set to 0.4 or, if a color is given that implies
            an alpha, that value is used for `fill_alpha`.
        outline_color : ColorLike | None
            Color of the outline of the labels. Can either be a named color ("red"), a hex representation
            ("#000000") or a list of floats that represent RGB/RGBA values (1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0). If ``None``,
            the outline inherits from the ``color`` parameter when it is a literal color, or uses data-driven
            per-label colors when ``color`` refers to a column.
        scale :  str | None
            Influences the resolution of the rendering. Possibilities for setting this parameter:
                1) None (default). The image is rasterized to fit the canvas size. For multiscale images, the best scale
                is selected before the rasterization step.
                2) Name of one of the scales in the multiscale image to be rendered. This scale is rendered as it is
                (exception: a dpi is specified in `show()`. Then the image is rasterized to fit the canvas and dpi).
                3) "full": render the full image without rasterization. In the case of a multiscale image, the scale
                with the highest resolution is selected. This can lead to long computing times for large images!
        colorbar : bool | str | None, default "auto"
            Whether to request a colorbar for continuous colors. Use ``"auto"`` (default) for automatic selection.
        colorbar_params : dict[str, object] | None
            Parameters forwarded to Matplotlib's colorbar alongside layout hints such as ``loc``, ``width``, ``pad``,
            and ``label``.
        table_name: str | None
            Name of the table containing the color columns.
        table_layer: str | None
            Layer of the AnnData table to use for coloring if `color` is in :attr:`sdata.table.var_names`. If None,
            :attr:`sdata.table.X` of the default table is used for coloring.
        gene_symbols: str | None
            Column name in :attr:`sdata.table.var` to use for looking up ``color``. Use this when
            ``var_names`` are e.g. ENSEMBL IDs but you want to refer to genes by their symbols stored
            in another column of ``var``. Mimics scanpy's ``gene_symbols`` parameter.
        transfunc : Callable[[float], float] | None, optional
            Optional transformation applied to the continuous color vector before normalization and colormap mapping.

        Parameters
        ----------
        element : str | None
            Name of the shapes/points/labels element the graph connects.
            Auto-resolved from the table if omitted.
        color : ColorLike | None
            A color-like value applied to every edge, or the name of a
            ``table.obs`` column. Categorical columns colour same-category
            edges by the shared value and cross-category edges by
            ``na_color``. Continuous columns colour edges by the mean of
            their endpoint values. Defaults to grey when unset.
        connectivity_key : str, default "spatial"
            ``table.obsp`` key. Tries ``key`` first, then ``f"{key}_connectivities"``.
        obsp_key : str | None
            ``table.obsp`` matrix used as per-edge scalar; coloured via
            ``cmap``/``norm``. Mutually exclusive with ``color``.
        palette : dict[str, str] | list[str] | str | None
            Palette for categorical obs coloring. Same as :meth:`render_shapes`.
        na_color : ColorLike | None, default "default"
            Colour for cross-category edges. ``None`` makes them transparent.
        cmap : Colormap | str | None
            Colormap for continuous edge coloring.
        norm : Normalize | None
            Pass ``Normalize(vmin=..., vmax=...)`` to clamp the colormap range.
        groups : list[str] | str | None
            Show only edges where **both** endpoints fall in these groups.
            Requires ``group_key``.
        group_key : str | None
            ``table.obs`` column used for group filtering.
        edge_width : float | Literal["weight"], default 1.0
            Line width. Pass ``"weight"`` to scale by ``weight_key`` values
            into ``[0.5, 3.0]``.
        edge_alpha : float | Literal["weight"], default 1.0
            Transparency. Pass ``"weight"`` to scale into ``[0.2, 1.0]``.
        weight_key : str | None
            ``table.obsp`` matrix providing per-edge weights. Defaults to
            ``connectivity_key`` when omitted.
        linestyle : str | Sequence[str], default "solid"
            ``LineCollection`` linestyle (scalar or per-edge).
        rasterize : bool, default True
            Rasterize the edge collection. Set ``False`` for vector output.
        include_self_loops : bool, default False
            Render diagonal entries of the connectivity matrix as circles.
        colorbar : bool | str | None, default "auto"
            Whether to draw a colorbar for continuous edge coloring
            (``obsp_key`` or a continuous obs column). ``"auto"`` draws it
            when a mappable is present; ``True``/``False`` force it on/off.
        colorbar_params : dict[str, object] | None
            Optional matplotlib colorbar kwargs and layout hints
            (e.g. ``{"loc": "right", "fraction": 0.05, "label": "..."}``).
        table_name : str | None
            Table containing the graph. Auto-discovered if omitted.

        -------
        sd.SpatialData

        Execute the plotting tree and display the final figure.

        Parameters
        ----------
        coordinate_systems : list[str] | str | None
            Name(s) of the coordinate system(s) to be plotted. If ``None``, all coordinate systems that contain
            relevant elements (as specified in the ``render_*`` calls) are plotted automatically.
        legend_fontsize : int | float | str | None
            Font size for the legend text. Accepts numeric values or matplotlib font size strings
            (e.g. ``"small"``, ``"large"``).
        legend_fontweight : int | str, default "bold"
            Font weight for the legend text (e.g. ``"bold"``, ``"normal"``).
        legend_loc : str | None, default "right margin"
            Location of the legend. Standard matplotlib legend locations (e.g. ``"upper left"``) or
            ``"right margin"``, ``"left margin"``, ``"top margin"``, ``"bottom margin"`` to place
            the legend outside the axes.
        legend_fontoutline : int | None
            Stroke width for a white outline around legend text, improving readability on busy plots.
        na_in_legend : bool, default True
            Whether to include NA / unmapped categories in the legend.
        colorbar : bool, default True
            Global switch to enable/disable all colorbars. Per-layer settings are ignored when this is ``False``.
        colorbar_params : dict[str, object] | None
            Global overrides passed to colorbars for all axes. Accepts the same keys as per-layer ``colorbar_params``
            (e.g., ``loc``, ``width``, ``pad``, ``label``).
        wspace : float | None
            Horizontal spacing between panels (passed to :class:`matplotlib.gridspec.GridSpec`).
        hspace : float, default 0.25
            Vertical spacing between panels (passed to :class:`matplotlib.gridspec.GridSpec`).
        ncols : int, default 4
            Number of columns in the multi-panel grid.
        frameon : bool | None
            Whether to draw the axes frame. If ``None``, the frame is hidden automatically for multi-panel plots.
        figsize : tuple[float, float] | None
            Size of the figure ``(width, height)`` in inches. The actual canvas size in pixels is
            ``dpi * figsize``. If ``None``, the matplotlib default is used ``(6.4, 4.8)``.
        dpi : int | None
            Resolution of the plot in dots per inch. If ``None``, the matplotlib default is used ``(100.0)``.
        fig : Figure | None
            .. deprecated::
                Pass axes created from your figure via ``ax`` instead.
        title : list[str] | str | None
            Title(s) for the plot. A single string is applied to all panels; a list must match the number
            of coordinate systems. If ``None``, each panel is titled with its coordinate system name.
        pad_extent : int | float, default 0
            Padding added around the computed spatial extent on all sides.
        ax : list[Axes] | Axes | None
            Pre-existing matplotlib axes to plot on. Can be a single :class:`~matplotlib.axes.Axes` or a list
            matching the number of coordinate systems. If ``None``, a new figure and axes are created.
        return_ax : bool, default False
            Whether to return the axes object(s) instead of ``None``.
        save : str | Path | None
            Path to save the figure to. If ``None``, the figure is not saved.
        show : bool | None
            Whether to call ``plt.show()`` at the end. If ``None`` (default), the plot is shown
            automatically when running in non-interactive mode (scripts) and suppressed in
            interactive sessions (e.g. Jupyter). When ``ax`` is provided by the user, defaults
            to ``False`` to allow further modifications.
        scalebar_dx : float | None
            Physical size of one axes-unit in ``scalebar_units``. If ``None``, no scalebar is drawn.
            SpatialData coordinate systems carry no unit metadata, so this value must be supplied
            explicitly (e.g. ``1.0`` when axes are already in micrometers; the microns-per-pixel
            value when axes are in image pixels).
        scalebar_units : str, default "um"
            Unit string for the scalebar (passed to :class:`matplotlib_scalebar.scalebar.ScaleBar`).
