Hey, thanks for the guidance. Vc 1.4 compiled and installed fine. PV
compiled file but offers no install option, apparently.
It is meant to be run from it's root folder. This way, it finds stuff
like it's default font easily. pv is multiplatform software, and that's
the easiest way to handle assets consistently on several platforms
without forming a notion of the underlying file system. On Windows, I
produce it as stickware. The idea is that it can be added to a bunch of
images so that people have a tool to view the images without having to
install anything. If you like installing stuff, simply use a soft link:
sudo ln -s /your/path/to/pv /usr/local/bin/pv
What should I see when I open a PTO file with PV? All I see is a
bottom frame of the pano, not the entire pano.
you should see the images 'in place', as if the panorama had been
stitched already.
Sorry, OK, I see that the mousewheel changes zoom into the panorama.
This is the way to zoom which most people discover first. It's much
smoother to do a secondary-mouse-button vertical click-drag - down zooms
out, up zooms in. The numpad plus and minus keys also produce smooth but
fixed-speed zooms. The click-drag mouse gestures are
displacement-sensitive: the further you move away from the click point,
the stronger the effect.
And
dragging the mousepointer around kind of counter-intuitively moves the
image the opposite direction (vertically or horizontally).
The standard notion in pv is that you move the virtual camera, be it
with mouse gestures, keyboard or GUI. pv's interpretation of mouse
gestures is inspired by QTVR (see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QuickTime_VR), implemented for example by
360cities (see https://www.360cities.net), where it's optional. If you
find the direction of the moves counterintuitive, you can use these options:
-R, --reverse_drag=<yes/no>
inverts the effect of click+drag with the primary mouse button
-Z, --reverse_secondary_drag=<yes/no>
inverts the effect of click+drag with the secondary mouse button
Please note that pv is a complex program with many options, which are
documented in the documentation (scroll down on the bitbucket repo's
front page or consult README.rst). There is much more to it than just
displaying PTO files, but I think that's such a major achievement that
it deserved a dedicated post.
But interesting and useful, this PV tool. Thanks for making it and for
the assistance in getting it to compile on Debian 10.
Thanks for bearing with me. I'd like to see more people trying it :D
Helping you compile on your system helps me, too, because I learn how to
tweak my procedures to run on more systems. Without our exchange, I
might not have found the problems with Vc 1.3.x and clang++-7, nor the
problems with compiling Vc 1.4.
