Work in progress

This page is a work in progress trying to document the individual steps performed by Hugin to create a panorama. It (currently) relies heavily on Panorama scripting in a nutshell, which is sadly quite out of date (17 June 2018).

The steps performed in a Hugin workflow are:

1. Create a project file. The project file is a context file used to pass information from one program to the next. This is done by pto_gen. See below for details

Create a project file. The project file is a context file used to pass information from one program to the next. This is done by pto_gen. It performs some initial processing, so it needs to have the names of the files and some information about their content. By default it creates a file with the name first-file-name-last-file-name, apparently in the directory in which at least one of the files is located.

Important options are:

• Projection, specified as a number. Documented projections are:
  0: rectilinear 2: equirectangular 3: full frame fisheye

  It's not clear what this option really does, since it doesn't appear to change the output file.
