It has some enticing properties, like representing the whole spherical surface without anyplace being particularly badly distorted - and I like it being square as well ;-) with regards Kay The real use for this projection is in a multi-resolution full spherical panorama viewer. If the viewer can use these triangles with hardware acceleration to show them without distortion. Adding new single image output projections to panotools is not too difficult. Outputting a bunch of tiles adds a couple level of difficulty. A tool to do this is probably better suited to be bundled with the viewings tool. -- Jim Watters http://photocreations.ca -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Hugin and other free panoramic software group.

Re: [hugin-ptx] have you heard about TOAST projection?
I agree. I should resuscitate the code for it. Seb, you offered me some time ago faster transforms. Do you still have them?
