Panotoo...Control(3)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is Panotools::Script::Line::Control — the Panotools control-point line, and it's literally the whole reason your panorama doesn't look like a broken jigsaw 🧩💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

a pair of control-points makes a c line, periodt

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea: it's one line per point pair. and like, you want roughly about one pair of points per image per variable that's being optimized 👑 the more variables you're optimizing, the more control points you're gonna need, no cap.

  n0           first image
  N1           second image
  x1066.5      first image x point position
  y844.333     first image y point position
  X239.52      second image x point position
  Y804.64      second image y point position
  t0           type of control point (optional)
                 0 - normal (default)
                 1 - optimize horizontally only
                 2 - optimize vertically only
                 3+ (all other numbers) - straight line

look at her. iconic. she's got the first image, the second image, and both x/y positions for each 🦋

🎀 getting a lil summary of a point

want a simplified description of a control point? it's giving perfect for spotting duplicates, bestie. do it like this:

print $point->Packed;

the format is: first image, x, y, second image, x, y, point type

e.g: 2,123,456,3,234,567,0 ✨

---

🌈 getting the error distance

want the control point error distance, measured in pixels in the panorama output? say less:

print $point->Distance ($pto);

okay important things, don't skip these 🙈 you have to pass a Panotools::Script object to this method — it is literally necessary. and also, heads up, the values you get back are approximately half of what panotools itself returns. go figure 💀 we don't know either.

and that's the whole page, my love 🫶 go forth and optimize 💜
