💖 PANOSTART(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to panostart — the little tool that looks at a pile of pics and goes "mmm these are giving panorama sequence". she's part of the Perl user-contributed docs era and she eats. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

panostart — figure out which of ur images are probably meant to be a panorama. yes that's the whole job and she's slaying it 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

panostart [options] image1 image2 [...]

like, hand her a list of images and she does her thing. and the options? obsessed. here's the whole squad:

🎀 Options 🎀

  • -o | --output name — what u want the created Makefile to be called. filename of the Makefile she makes, basically 📝
  • -t | --time — how many seconds sit between each panorama. the gap, the pause, the little breather ⏱️
  • -f | --projection — the Panotools-style input projection number 🌀 use 0 for rectilinear, 2 for circular fisheye, and 3 for full-frame fisheye images.
  • -v | --fov — horizontal field of view, in degrees 📐 and if u don't give her one, she'll calculate it from the EXIF info instead. she's resourceful like that.
  • -k | --selection — the crop selection boundary, e.g. -459,2459,-57,2861 ✂️
  • --linkstacks — hard link the positions of stacked photos 🔗 (no short form, she's mysterious like that)
  • -h | --help — outputs the help documentation 📖
  • -l | --loquacious — verbose output that lists targets and the numbers of images 🗣️ she will Not stop talking and honestly? valid.

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫
