    """
    Generates a cartesian mesh of the volume of a neuron.
    Parameters
    ----------
    source : :func:`list`, ``nrn.SectionList``, or ``nrn.Import3D``
        The geometry to mesh.
    dx : double, optional
        Mesh step size.
    xlo : double, optional
        Minimum x value. If omitted or None, uses minimum x value in the geometry.
    xhi : double, optional
        Maximum x value. If omitted or None, uses maximum x value in the geometry.
    ylo : double, optional
        Minimum y value. If omitted or None, uses minimum y value in the geometry.
    yhi : double, optional
        Maximum y value. If omitted or None, uses maximum y value in the geometry.
    zlo : double, optional
        Minimum z value. If omitted or None, uses minimum z value in the geometry.
    zhi : double, optional
        Maximum z value. If omitted or None, uses maximum z value in the geometry.
    n_soma_step : integer, optional
        Number of pieces to slice a soma outline into.
    Returns
    -------
    result : :class:`ScalarField`
        The mesh. Values are scalars, but may be used as True inside the
        geometry and False outside.
    Examples
    --------
    Basic usage:
    >>> mesh = geometry3d.voxelize(h.allsec())
    Full example, using :mod:`pyplot`:
    >>> s1, s2, s3 = [h.Section() for i in xrange(3)]
    >>> for sec in [s2, s3]: ignore_return = sec.connect(s1)
    ...
    >>> for sec in h.allsec():
    ...     sec.diam = 1
    ...     sec.L = 5
    ...
    >>> mesh = geometry3d.voxelize(h.allsec(), dx=.1)
    >>> for i in xrange(10):
    ...     ignore_return = pyplot.subplot(2, 5, i + 1)
    ...     ignore_return = pyplot.imshow(mesh.values[:, :, i])
    ...     ignore_return = pyplot.xticks([])
    ...     ignore_return = pyplot.yticks([])
    ...
    >>> pyplot.show()

        from neuron import h

        from . import geometry3d
        s1, s2, s3 = [h.Section() for i in xrange(3)]
        for sec in [s2, s3]: ignore_return = sec.connect(s1)
        for sec in h.allsec():
            sec.diam = 1
            sec.L = 5
        mesh = geometry3d.voxelize(h.allsec(), dx=.1)
        for i in xrange(10):
            ignore_return = pyplot.subplot(2, 5, i + 1)
            ignore_return = pyplot.imshow(mesh.values[:, :, i])
            ignore_return = pyplot.xticks([])
            ignore_return = pyplot.yticks([])
        pyplot.show()
    .. note::
        The use of Import3D objects is recommended over lists of sections
        because the former preserves the soma outline information while
        the later does not. Up to one soma outline is currently supported.
