Reported by Spencer et al.

Make matplotlib sample shape plotting available via a simple menu item (Eg right click menu on a workspace) without requiring user to copy and paste python code into a script window

Possibly beyond the scope of this, but should the plot update if the underlying sample shape is updated? e.g. from a future call to RotateSampleShape https://github.com/mantidproject/mantid/issues/34565 ?

Yes this be a good feature - probably a "nice to have" if it's difficult to achieve. It would support the iterative alignment we discussed earlier where someone is visually aligning a sample by rotating it several times.
