[GRASSLIST:77] Re: nviz bird's eye view/shaded relief image

[Nick Cahill]

A better way to make a shaded relief map might be to use r.out.tif, 
which will write a tif file of your map. You might be able to adjust 
the tones, to lighten the shadows, by modifying the color table of the 
shaded relief map using r.colors.

I would be interested too in setting the view in NVIZ without using the 
interactive arrow, though.
