#' Sample spatial cluster visualization
#'
#' This function visualizes the clusters for one given sample at the spot-level
#' using (by default) the histology information on the background. To visualize
#' gene-level (or any continuous variable) use [vis_gene()].
#'
#' @inheritParams run_app
#' @param sampleid A `character(1)` specifying which sample to plot from
#' `colData(spe)$sample_id` (formerly `colData(spe)$sample_name`).
#' @param clustervar A `character(1)` with the name of the `colData(spe)`
#' column that has the cluster values.
#' @param colors A vector of colors to use for visualizing the clusters
#' from `clustervar`. If the vector has names, then those should match the
#' values of `clustervar`.
#' @param spatial A `logical(1)` indicating whether to include the histology
#' layer from [geom_spatial()]. If you plan to use
#' [ggplotly()][plotly::ggplotly] then it's best to set this to `FALSE`.
#' @param image_id A `character(1)` with the name of the image ID you want to
#' use in the background.
#' @param alpha A `numeric(1)` in the `[0, 1]` range that specifies the
#' transparency level of the data on the spots.
#' @param point_size A `numeric(1)` specifying the size of the points. Defaults
#' to `1.25`. Some colors look better if you use `2` for instance.
#' @param auto_crop A `logical(1)` indicating whether to automatically crop
#' the image / plotting area, which is useful if the Visium capture area is
#' not centered on the image and if the image is not a square.
#' @param na_color A `character(1)` specifying a color for the NA values.
#' If you set `alpha = NA` then it's best to set `na_color` to a color that has
#' alpha blending already, which will make non-NA values pop up more and the NA
#' values will show with a lighter color. This behavior is lost when `alpha` is
#' set to a non-`NA` value.
#' @param ... Passed to [paste0()][base::paste] for making the title of the
#' plot following the `sampleid`.
#'
#' @return A [ggplot2][ggplot2::ggplot] object.
#' @family Spatial cluster visualization functions
#' @export
#' @importFrom SpatialExperiment spatialCoords
#' @details This function subsets `spe` to the given sample and prepares the
#' data and title for [vis_clus_p()].
