Research direction

Start by inspecting the existing render_... plotting calls and how continuous z coordinates are handled. The issue is complete when plotting calls accept a z-plane parameter and continuous z coordinates can be binned into the requested plane.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently in napari we do not support the visualization of 3D data. While full 3D support is too much of a task for the near future, we could improve better support for 2.5D. I propose the following:

  • Have the possibility of adding a parameter called z-plane to a plotting call. (one parameter z-plane per render_...)
  • Internally when dealing with continuous z coordinates have the capability of binning, so lets say I state z-plane=3, this would bin all z coordinates between 2.5 and 3.49 to 3.
