    Take a slice of any orientation through an array. This is useful for extracting sections of multi-dimensional arrays such as MRI images for viewing as 1D or 2D data.
    
    The slicing axes are aribtrary; they do not need to be orthogonal to the original data or even to each other. It is possible to use this function to extract arbitrary linear, rectangular, or parallelepiped shapes from within larger datasets. The original data is interpolated onto a new array of coordinates using scipy.ndimage.map_coordinates (see the scipy documentation for more information about this).
    
    For a graphical interface to this function, see :func:`ROI.getArrayRegion <pyqtgraph.ROI.getArrayRegion>`
    
    ==============  ====================================================================================================
    Arguments:
    *data*          (ndarray) the original dataset
    *shape*         the shape of the slice to take (Note the return value may have more dimensions than len(shape))
    *origin*        the location in the original dataset that will become the origin of the sliced data.
    *vectors*       list of unit vectors which point in the direction of the slice axes. Each vector must have the same 
                    length as *axes*. If the vectors are not unit length, the result will be scaled relative to the 
                    original data. If the vectors are not orthogonal, the result will be sheared relative to the 
                    original data.
    *axes*          The axes in the original dataset which correspond to the slice *vectors*
    *order*         The order of spline interpolation. Default is 1 (linear). See scipy.ndimage.map_coordinates
                    for more information.
    *returnCoords*  If True, return a tuple (result, coords) where coords is the array of coordinates used to select
                    values from the original dataset.
    *All extra keyword arguments are passed to scipy.ndimage.map_coordinates.*

        * data = array with dims (time, x, y, z) = (100, 40, 40, 40)

    Convert an array of values into an ARGB array suitable for building QImages, OpenGL textures, etc.
    
    Returns the ARGB array (values 0-255) and a boolean indicating whether there is alpha channel data.
    This is a two stage process:
    
        1) Rescale the data based on the values in the *levels* argument (min, max).
        2) Determine the final output by passing the rescaled values through a lookup table.
   
    Both stages are optional.
    
    ============ ==================================================================================
    Arguments:
    data         numpy array of int/float types. If 
    levels       List [min, max]; optionally rescale data before converting through the
                 lookup table. The data is rescaled such that min->0 and max->*scale*::
                 
                    rescaled = (clip(data, min, max) - min) * (*scale* / (max - min))
                 
                 It is also possible to use a 2D (N,2) array of values for levels. In this case,
                 it is assumed that each pair of min,max values in the levels array should be 
                 applied to a different subset of the input data (for example, the input data may 
                 already have RGB values and the levels are used to independently scale each 
                 channel). The use of this feature requires that levels.shape[0] == data.shape[-1].
    scale        The maximum value to which data will be rescaled before being passed through the 
                 lookup table (or returned if there is no lookup table). By default this will
                 be set to the length of the lookup table, or 256 is no lookup table is provided.
                 For OpenGL color specifications (as in GLColor4f) use scale=1.0
    lut          Optional lookup table (array with dtype=ubyte).
                 Values in data will be converted to color by indexing directly from lut.
                 The output data shape will be input.shape + lut.shape[1:].
                 
                 Note: the output of makeARGB will have the same dtype as the lookup table, so
                 for conversion to QImage, the dtype must be ubyte.
                 
                 Lookup tables can be built using GradientWidget.
    useRGBA      If True, the data is returned in RGBA order (useful for building OpenGL textures). 
                 The default is False, which returns in ARGB order for use with QImage 
                 (Note that 'ARGB' is a term used by the Qt documentation; the _actual_ order 
                 is BGRA).
