When the mouse button is released the Bathy Profile window opens and displays an along-
line profile of all of the DTM layers existing beneath the profile line.
The image above shows three profile lines, corresponding to the three DTM layers in the
project. The user has the option to uncheck the box next to the listed bathy layers in order to
turn an individual profile line off from the display.
The window comes with a display of the cursor position and depth, and the option to view
continuous lines or discreet points only. The cursor display can be customized to show the
