I often have plots where I really only want to label the outliers and not all the points in the main cluster. I'm currently doing this by manually defining where the outliers are and only labeling those, but it would be great if your program had an option for just removing text annotations from all regions where they're too dense not to overlap.

(Also, this is great and really helping me with my plots, thank you!)

Hi, this is a great idea, I think it has been suggested before. It would be possible to implement, however I think a better way might indeed be some annotation of outliers with a more formal approach, and only labeling those... It might be a useful feature anyway though.

What I want for my fairly informal plots really is mostly just "label as many points outside the central cluster as can easily be labeled" rather than a formal (and complicated) definition of outliers which would really just be a workaround to make the labels turn out how I want, so I do think it would be useful, especially if it's been suggested before.
