     The extent of the slice are defined by the co-ordinates of the lower corner (``slice.dom_lo``) and upper corner (``slice.dom_hi``). The slice could be 1D, 2D, or 3D, aligned with the co-ordinate axes and the first axis of the coordinates is x. For example: if for a 3D simulation, an x-z slice is to be extracted at y = 0.0, then the y-value of slice.dom_lo and slice.dom_hi must be equal to 0.0
