using Makie

Without removing data is it possible to only visualize a subset of the data (e.g. in scatter!) by defining geometric boundaries. I’ve been playing around with limits using FRec3D but that only sets the axis and data outside this box still visualized. I could not find anything in the documentation about this.

If I remember correctly from recent conversations on Slack, this isn’t implemented yet and you have to manually truncate your data. I think it’s being worked on though.
