New issue 1247: origin in SlicePlot

Luigi Iapichino:

Dear yt community,
 
in the "origin" parameter in SlicePlot is it currently not possible to have the location of the origin of the plot coordinate system in a user-defined point inside the slice. I have sent an email to yt-users about it, and on July 14 Nathan replied that the place that needs to be modified is this function:

One would need to add a new if statement to account for the case when origin is a two-element list, tuple or ndarray, and then just use that value. One would also need to update the docstrings for "origin" which are replicated a few places in that file. Unfortunately at the moment I don't have resources to invest in this task, therefore I open this issue for adding a new feature in the origin parameter. Thanks a lot your your efforts, Luigi
