    # MAYAVI SETUP
    # mayavi is a python library for scientific visualisations, that can handle
    # visualisation of Lidar Data. But, it can also be used to project Lidar data
    # to 2D images.
    #
    # The set of commands I used to get mayavi set up on my computer so far.
    # NOTE: I still do not know if it is set up properly, so this set of steps
    # might be incomplete.
    # NOTE: python-vtk is a prerequisite of mayavi, but it only seems to be
    # available for python 2.7
    # NOTE: This setup assumes that a virtualenv called `tfcv` has been used to
    # install the python libraries. You should modify the
    # VIRTUAL_ENV_NAME, and VIRTUAL_ENV_ROOT to where you have your desired
    # virtualenv located, or, remove any lines that mentions virtualenv
    # if you are not using a virutalenv.

    PYTHON_VERSION="2.7" #
    VIRTUAL_ENV_NAME="tfcv" # Name of your virtualenv
    VIRTUAL_ENV_ROOT="${HOME}/virtualenvs" # Where your virtual envs are stored

    # REMOVE THE FOLLOWING 2 LINES IF YOU ARE NOT USING A VIRTUALENV
