mascarade: Generating Cluster Masks for Single-Cell Dimensional Reduction Plots

Implements a procedure to automatically generate 2D masks for clusters on dimensional reduction plots from methods like t-SNE (t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding) or UMAP (uniform manifold approximation and projection), with a focus on single-cell RNA-sequencing data.
