Displace cluster names when legend_loc="on data"

Help scanpy

(I am trying to make a feature request, hope this is the right place. Happy to repost on github/somewhere else if needed.)

I love legend_loc="on data" and use it very often. However, when I have lots of (sub)clusters or long cluster names, they often overlap, making the plot unreadable. Are there plans to address this? For the sake of comparison/an example, Seurat has a “repel” argument to deal with this.

I like this. It should be possible to do it since in python there is the adjustText package (docs) (similar to the ggrepel one in R). Who could take care of this, @ivirshup?
