[hugin-ptx] Hugin 2011.2.0 release notes - fixed background image

2011-07-23 Thread Andreas Metzler
Hello,

is keeping the background image on a fixed position (making text
difficult to read) intended behavior?

This is on iceweasel (firefox) 3.5.16.

This behavior is intended (as I see the same on different browser).
To make it better I was experimenting a bit while translating the
release notes to Italian: check the Italian release note page for
2011.2.0 [1] to see what I'm working on.
Suggestion/comments are welcome!

yes, repeating Hugin is redundant indeed.

thanks for the test and quick reply.

yes, that's the right hand side bleeding that I mentioned appears in Firefox 
as well.

This looks like the intended behavior:  the panorama sticks up on top while 
the text scrolls.  What problem am I missing?  To me it looks like it works 
well in Opera.

Thanks

You are probably not missing anything.
I guess I expected the full image to always be in view, rather than only  
appear when the page is scrolled down.


Cheers,

2011-07-23 Thread Matthew Petroff
Hugin 2011.2.0-rc2 binaries for Windows are now available.
See sourceforge.net downloads page:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/hugin/files/hugin/hugin-2011.2_beta/

The builds are not Python enabled as I have yet to devise a method of
distribution that reliably works without a local Python install.

 CHANGES SINCE 2011.0.0

 Little time has passed since our last release and yet there is new major
 functionality.  Hugin has received a Python scripting interface and new
 lens calibration tool.  A critical bug affecting a significant number of
 Mac users has been fixed and many general improvements have been made.

 _Lens Calibration Tool_

 Lenses are designed to follow a perfect geometric model.  For rectilinear
 lenses, a straight line in the depicted scene should be straight in the
 picture.  This is not always the case:  most lenses have an inherent
 deviation from the perfect model, resulting in imperfections such as
 pincushion or barrel distortion in rectilinear lenses.

 Adherence to the perfect geometric model is desirable for aesthetic purposes
 and indespensible to achieve proper alignment when stitching images.
 Hugin can calculate lens distortion parameters on the fly when optimizing
 a project, however this requires more control points and more computational
 effort than a project starting with a calibrated lens, and is prone to more
 errors.

 The new lens calibration tool calculates the distortion parameters of a
 lens based on an input image.  The input image must contain straight
 lines, ideally many of them at different distances from the center of the
 lens, covering at least 1/4 of the image.  The calculated parameters are
 valid for a given combination of focal distance, aperture (F-stop), and
 sensor.

 The values, saved into a lens profile, can be used in Hugin to achieve
 a better stitch, or on single images taken with this lens / settings
 combination to achieve a more aesthetically pleasing outcome.

 _Python Scripting Interface_

 Hugin now exposes some of its data structure and functionalities through
 a Python module.  To get started with scripting, start your Python
 interpreter and type:

     import hsi
     help (hsi)

 Standalone Python programs can access a panorama object with Hugin's
 functionality.  It is possible to develop complete command line and
 even GUI tools based on this module.

 _Python Plugin Interface_

 Hugin can now run Python scripts inside the application.  In an enabled
 Hugin binary, a new Actions menu gives access to system-wide plugins
 distributed with Hugin.  Moreover, plugins can be written, modified,
 customized in the user's own directory.

 Currently there are only a few plugins available, but we expect the
 body of available plugins and functionality to grow organically as
 the interface is being made available to the general public.

 _Other Improvements_

 * PTBatcherGUI has matured to become the default processor for
   stitching projects.
 * ICC profiles saved in output.
 * Support for newer Olympus camera.
 * Improved auto cropping.
 * New mask type:

Thank you!

maybe http://davidf.sjsoft.com/mirrors/mcmillan-inc/install1.html can help?
