Panotoo...ne::Mode(3)

💖 Panotools::Script::Line::Mode(3) 💖

okay bestie so this is a Perl module, part of the Panotools::Script::Line fam, and it's all about stitching modes. yes THAT kind of stitching — panorama stitching, calm down. it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual and it's genuinely so useful. 🧵✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Panotools::Script::Line::Mode — the Panotools stitching mode, periodt. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

so like. the optional stitching modes are described by an 'm' line. that's the whole vibe:

m i2

one lil m line, and suddenly you're in control. main character energy fr fr 🎀

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

here's the whole menu of things you can put on that line, bestie. read carefully, they're all doing different jobs:

g2.5         Set gamma value for internal computations (default 1.0)
                 See <http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/gamma/gamma.html>
              This is especially useful in conjunction with the vignetting correction
              by division

i2           Set interpolator, See <http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/interpolator/interpolator.html>
               one of:
                  0 - poly3 (default)
                  1 - spline16,
                  2 - spline36,
                  3 - sinc256,
                  4 - spline64,
                  5 - bilinear,
                  6 - nearest neighbor,
                  7 - sinc1024

 m2           Huber Sigma

 p0.001       Photometric Huber Sigma

 s1           Photometric Symmetric Error

---

🎀 the breakdown, one by one 🎀

• g2.5 — sets the gamma value for internal computations, and the default is 1.0. there's a whole page about it at <http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/gamma/gamma.html> if you wanna go down that rabbit hole. and ngl? this one is especially useful in conjunction with the vignetting correction by division. iconic combo, no cap. 🍓
• i2 — sets the interpolator. more deets at <http://www.fh-furtwangen.de/~dersch/interpolator/interpolator.html>. you gotta pick exactly one of these, and yes there are EIGHT:
  1. 0 — poly3 (this one's the default 💖)
  2. 1 — spline16,
  3. 2 — spline36,
  4. 3 — sinc256,
  5. 4 — spline64,
  6. 5 — bilinear,
  7. 6 — nearest neighbor,
  8. 7 — sinc1024

(yes i kept the commas exactly how the original had them, we don't edit the source in this house 🫶)

• m2 — Huber Sigma. short king of an option. 💜
• p0.001 — Photometric Huber Sigma. note the p prefix, don't mix it up with the m one bestie 😭
• s1 — Photometric Symmetric Error. the s stands for slay, probably. 🔥

heads up: every single one of these is optional. that's literally what the SYNOPSIS said. you don't have to set any of them, the defaults will just vibe quietly in the background. 🌈

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

ngl bestie, this page doesn't list any SEE ALSO refs. it's a standalone baddie. 💀

that's the whole page!! go forth and stitch, you absolute legend. ate and left no crumbs ✨🦋

perl v5.42.0 🌸 2025-07-25 🎀 — that's the version and the date this lil doc was born, and it's from the Panotools::Script::Line::Mode(3) corner of the User Contributed Perl Documentation. mwah, bye bestie!! 💖💅
