Hello !  
Does anyone know how to use GLMakie’s `volume` method [volume - Makie](https://docs.makie.org/stable/examples/plotting_functions/volume/index.html#volume) with “_optional physical dimensions x, y, z_” as described in the doc?

For exemple, `volume(1.0,2.0,3.0, rand(100,100,100))` doesn’t work.  
Thanks !

This probably means that you can specify the locations of the voxels using x, y and z. Usually that is done using ranges, so `volume(range(0, 1, length = 100), range(10, 20, length = 100), range(50, 51, length = 100, rand(100, 100, 100))` should work I think. Maybe also using interval syntax like `volume(0..1, 10..20, 50..51, ...)`
