I have floated this idea to the maker of a proprietary stitching tool more than five years ago and last time I used it / paid for an upgrade license it was not there. But I heard it has been introduced since. Yuv signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

It would be only a little extra work to make an engine for that do the TOAST and Pierce Quincuncial projections too. This made me think of the 'panini perspective tool'. What became of that? I found a debian package panini_0.71.104-0ubuntu1~lucid_i386.deb which I installed on my Kubuntu 10.10 system, but somehow I can't get it to work for me. Maybe it's a setting thing, in the top of the window it says 'Panini at 0.00 Mpixels', as if it didn't have any memory to work with, and when I try to load an image or even set a projection, the thing plain freezes. I thought the concept was promising, but it looks like it's not developed any further? The package is from March this year.

Once again, Microsoft takes a poor idea and runs with it. It never ceases to amaze me that up in Redmond they pay people good money to do such work. Not that I have anything against tiled projections. Printing dodecahedral panoramas seems quite popular, there are several programs for that. On the flickr MathMap group you can see many beautiful examples, many by Seb, of not just polyhedral tilings but all sorts of curved tesselations of the sphere, displaying spherical images. I keep suggesting that our primary stitching targets should include the cube, since so many of our panos end up that way. It would be only a little extra work to make an engine for that do the TOAST and Pierce Quincuncial projections too. -- Tom On Dec 17, 8:18 am, kfj _...@yahoo.com wrote: On 16 Dez., 15:50, Seb Perez-D sbprzd+...@gmail.com wrote: On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 15:48, Sebastien Perez-Duarte sebastien.perez-dua...@m4x.org wrote: A much better projection is the Peirce Quincuncial.
