Hi Peter Having slept on it, I've decided to release a new Panini version that incorporates your recentered views, and also an image overlay facility I built for Luca Vascon back in January but have not released. Both are useful and it is not really much trouble to add them to 0.63. So expect version 0.70 this weekend.
Part of the reason for this is that I get the impression Luca may never have actually got hold of the "overlay" version because downloading it from my ftp site was too mysterious. I don't want that stopping him from matching panos to classic paintings of Venice, which is what he wanted it for.
