    """
    Given an array with shape (z, y, x), extract a (z, n) slice from a path
    with ``n`` segments.
    
    All units are in *pixels*

    .. note:: If there are NaNs in the cube, they will be treated as zeros when
              using spline interpolation.

    Parameters
    ----------
    path : `Path`
        The path along which to define the slice
    spacing : float
        The position resolution in the final slice
    order : int, optional
        Spline interpolation order when using line paths. Does not have any
        effect for polygon paths.
    respect_nan : bool, optional
        If set to `False`, NaN values are changed to zero before computing
        the slices.

    Returns
    -------
    slice : `numpy.ndarray`
        The slice
