I am visualizing graphs but my points are strongly affected by the outliers.  
how can i alleviate the outliers’ impacts? i dont’ want the data crouched in the center.

are theire any parameters that can dismiss these outliers in the embedding?

my code:

```auto
sc.tl.draw_graph(adata_list[5], layout='fa', neighbors_key='spatial_neighbors')
sc.pl.draw_graph(adata_list[5], color='anno_germ_layer',edges=False, title=adata_list[5].obs['actual_stage'][0], ax=axes[1,1], show=False, legend_loc='on data', legend_fontweight='light')

```
