In tourr: Tour Methods for Multivariate Data Visualisation

#' Manually slice along a variable axis.
#'
#' The manual slice tour takes the current projection, with display_slice,
#' and changes the slice center.
#'
#' @param data numeric matrix, with n rows and p columns
#' @param proj projection from which slices are constructed
#' @param var variable axis to run the center along: 1, ..., p
#' @param nsteps number of changes in center to make
#' @param v_rel relative volume of the slice. If not set, suggested value
#'   is calculated and printed to the screen.
#' @param rescale Default FALSE. If TRUE, rescale all variables to range [0,1]?
#' @param col color to use for points, can be a vector or hexcolors or a factor.  Defaults to "black".
#' @param sphere if true, sphere all variables
#' @param half_range half range to use when calculating limits of projected.
#'   If not set, defaults to maximum distance from origin to each row of data.
#' @param anchor_nav position of the anchor: center, topright or off
#' @param palette name of color palette for point colour, used by \code{\link{hcl.colors}}, default "Zissou 1"
#' @param ... other options passed to output device
#' @export
#' @examples
#' # Note that you might need to use the quartz()
#' # on OSX to see the animation
