💖 CUBIC2ERECT 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because this little cutie is a Perl script in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section and it does exactly one job and does it slayfully ✨

cubic2erect — a utility to convert six cube faces into one equirectangular image. no cap. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ Synopsis ✨

cubic2erect front.tif right.tif back.tif left.tif up.tif down.tif equirectangular.tif

like... six files in, one file out. it's giving assembly line 🎀

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so cubic2erect is a command-line utility program that takes your six cube faces and smooshes them together into a single TIFF format equirectangular file — and that output is literally made to be viewed with panoglview. 💅

the input files have to be in one of these formats, no exceptions bestie:

  • JPEG
  • PPM
  • TIFF

and the output? always TIFF. periodt. 🫶

🎀 Calling syntax 🎀

cubic2erect <front> <right> <back> <left> <up> <down> <TIFF-file>

six placeholders, one destination, that's the whole recipe 🍓
