New slicing backend (nearest neighbors interpolation) for use with moving mesh

 to render SWIFT data onto a slice. This takes your 3D data and finds the 3D

 Here we use the Wendland-C2 kernel. Note that here we take the kernel
 at a fixed z-position.
 
+There is also an alternative :code:`"nearest_neighbors"` backend, which uses
+nearest-neighbor interpolation to compute the densities at each pixel.

 The primary function here is
 :meth:`swiftsimio.visualisation.slice.slice_gas`, which allows you to
 create a gas slice of any field. See the example below.
