Very interesting. What is the difference to the old panotools Morph-to-fit?

The panotools morph-to-fit isn't available in Hugin/nona...

Panotools also uses a not-very-nice distortion where it splits the image up into triangles and performs an affine transformation on each triangle separately, so you get steps between adjacent triangles (I believe, I haven't looked at it for ten years or something). The ImageMagick morph is a 'rubber-sheet' distortion, so it is much smoother.

The reason morph-to-fit was never implemented in Hugin is that there were obviously better ways of doing it.

Panotools also uses a whole separate interface, control points are specified with 'c-lines', whereas panotools morphing uses 'C-lines' and these have a completely different format. ptomorph just uses the existing normal 'c-lines'.

These 'C-lines' seem a bit superfluous to me, though I suppose there are circumstances where you might want to control morphing with a reduced number of points - I'm not sure if there ever have been any tools that support a reduced set like this.
