✨ GIGATILE ✨

okay bestie, so the manual page we're reading is called gigatile, and it lives in the perl user-contributed docs corner of the internet 💅 it's a User Contributed Perl situation, section 1, and honestly? she's a baddie.

🎀 NAME 🎀

gigatile — stitch a Hugin project as multi-resolution tiles 🧩✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gigatile -o project.pto.mk -p prefix project.pto

and then, like, the options menu 🍓:

 Options:
  -o | --output name    Filename of created Makefile.
  -p | --prefix         prefix for output files, can be a directory name.
  --apikey              a Google Maps API key (required to use online).
  -h | --help           Outputs help documentation.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: gigatile is a tool with the exact same CLI as pto2mk, no cap. same energy, same interface, same muscle memory 🫶

but the twist? instead of making rules for stitching one single panorama like a normal little program, the project gets split into 4096x4096 tiles which are rendered independently 👑 and then — because one layer of slay was not enough — those tiles get split again into a pyramid of 256x256 JPEG tiles 🌈

it's giving fractal. it's giving layers upon layers. it's giving main character energy fr fr 💖
