Re: [hugin-ptx] Re: Stereo image alignment

2024-04-18 Thread Chris
Maybe I read too much into Vladimir's recommendation:
https://wiki.panotools.org/Talk:Align_image_stack *->* 
http://vndlinuxphoto.blogspot.com/2011/01/stereo-image-alignment-in-hugin.html 
*->*
align_image_stack -p aligned.pto -a aligned -m -i -P -C *right.jpg left.jpg*
He names two files and puts them in a specific order - right then left, 
rather than the more logical left then right, so I assumed that's what you 
had to do. Checking the documentation I now see that the -S, _A and -P 
options don't mention files, so I assume the answer is probably the last 
one of those I suggested in my previous post - it makes no assumptions 
about L and R and just matches them all together. The order could be 
modifed by the options --align-to-first and/or --use-given-order

Re: [hugin-ptx] Re: Stereo image alignment

2024-04-18 Thread Chris
Yes, I understood that, but this thread is about stereo image alignment.  
You need 2 images for that, so how does it pick 2 out of for example 10 
images? Or does it assume the first one in order is the left-hand image and 
then treat all the others as right-hand ones and match them to it? Or does 
it make no assumptions about L and R and just match them all together?

Greg,

Chris has repeatedly stated that his questions and remarks were about 
the documentation. While I agree they don't have anything to do with the 
coding, they do have to do with the software because documentation IMO 
should be considered as being part of the software. If a documentation 
tells me something (I am not speaking of the Hugin documentation here) 
and the software does something else, then this is a bug. I agree this 
would be a documentation bug, not a coding bug, but it would still be a 
bug. Or maybe the word "bug" is not appropriate here. Anyhow 
documentation issues should be addressed just like coding bugs should be 
fixed.


About your second paragraph: I don't feel that Chris has attacked 
Thomas. I saw Chris insisting on documentation issues. It happens that 
Thomas was almost the only one to answer, but I did not feel anything 
personal in Chris' mails.


I am glad that someone is checking the exact formulation of the 
documentation. I don't know who wrote the documentation (although I 
would not be surprised if it was Thomas), but I know that developers are 
seldom good documentation writers. I am a software developer, I have 
tried to write documentation and I don't think I ever achieved something 
which was simultaneously short enough, clear enough and unambiguous. It 
is very difficult for a developer to realize that people could 
understand what he wrote differently from what he meant. It is even more 
difficult for him to find all the sentences where such gap could exist.


I know that all the documentation was written by volunteers doing it on 
their free time (just like the code). Improving the documentation takes 
time, and the resources are limited. I guess that Thomas enjoys much 
more coding than writing documentation (I do!).


I enjoyed this discussion up to now because it has taught me a few 
things about English. And I would appreciate improving the documentation 
in this way because I am always wary about what I am understanding from 
a documentation written by someone whose native language is probably not 
English, even more so because it is not mine either.
