Examples

>>> import navis
>>> import cloudvolume as cv
>>> # Monkey patch cloudvolume
>>> navis.patch_cloudvolume()
>>> # Connect to the public microns dataset
>>> vol = cv.CloudVolume('precomputed://gs://iarpa_microns/minnie/minnie65/seg',
...                      use_https=True)
>>> # Fetch as navis neuron using newly added method or ...
>>> nl = vol.mesh.get_navis(864691135293126156, lod=3)
>>> # ... alternatively use `as_navis` keyword argument in original method
>>> nl = vol.mesh.get(864691135293126156, lod=3, as_navis=True)
>>> type(nl)
