Description
Currently in napari we do not support the visualization of 3D data. While full 3D support is too much of a task for the near future, we could improve better support for 2.5D. I propose the following:
- Have the possibility of adding a parameter called z-plane to a plotting call. (one parameter z-plane per render_...)
- Internally when dealing with continuous z coordinates have the capability of binning, so lets say I state
z-plane=3, this would bin all z coordinates between 2.5 and 3.49 to 3.

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by inspecting the existing render_... plotting calls and how continuous z coordinates are handled. The issue is complete when plotting calls accept a z-plane parameter and continuous z coordinates can be binned into the requested plane.
