💖 PTMENDER(1) 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the LIBPANO13 TOOLS manual set — say hi to PTmender 👋 it's the replacement for PTStitcher and honestly? it ate.

✨ NAME ✨

PTmender — the replacement for PTStitcher 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

PTmender [options] script_filename images

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So PTmender is a replacement for Professor Helmut Dersch's PTStitcher. No cap, most of the genuinely useful features of PTStitcher are already implemented up in here, specifically:

  • Compatibility with existing command line and script usage 👑
  • Colour and brightness correction 🌈
  • Multiple TIFF output 🎀
  • PSD output with layer masks 💅
  • Flattened TIFF, JPEG and PNG output ✨

And there's also brand new useful features that PTStitcher literally never had:

  • Cropped TIFF output 🍓
  • LZW compression of TIFF output 🧚

Now for the stuff that has not been implemented, and bestie I need you to hear me on this one:

  • Support for VRML, PICT, QTVR, IVR 💀
  • Support for other-than-rectilinear lenses such as fisheyes 😭
  • Probably lots of other stuff 🙈
lowkey it's giving "we're cooked on the fisheye front", but everything else? slay.

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • -o prefix — sets the prefix for the output filename. if you don't say anything it just defaults to pano ✨
  • -q — quiet run 🤫 no yapping
  • -h — spits out the help summary 🫶
  • -s — sorts the filenames you handed it on the command line into lexicographical order. and only the ones on the command line, iykyk 🎀

btw: if you don't specify any images on the command line, then the i lines get used instead. and if those i lines don't contain a valid filename, then the o lines get used. ⭐
