Printing w/tubes

[Jarvist Moore Frost]

Ah, for sure. Works exactly the same way on unix. It's just that I'm rather
incompetent when given a mouse, and can barely resist a few random clicks
around the place.

It might be useful to make the views reproducible for other reasons too,
though I guess there's also the problem with how the view interacts with
different sized viewports.
I did a visualisation where I place a fixed point at the altitude + x/y
coordinate of a place where we see the mountain from, and overlayed the
(perspective) survey with a photograph. Getting them to line up was all a
bit vague, as I simply zoomed until the field of view of the DEM surface
agreed with the outline of the mountain.

Best,

Jarv
