PanoGLview For Linux

PanoGLview is an OpenGL hardware accelerated immersive viewer for equirectangular images.

Panoglview is intended to view full 180x360 (equirectangular) panoramas projected onto a globe which can be spun around using the mouse.

For viewing a partial panorama, you use project files. There are no examples in the distribution, but they can be created by opening an equirectangular image and saving a .paf 'project'.

These are simple text files and fairly self-explanatory, but the interesting thing is that these .paf files contain stuff like camera field-of-view, pan, tilt, boundaries and now partial panorama settings.

..anyway there is some future potential with all this:

* Creating a .paf project from a partial equirectangular .pto project. * Panning to a view and using these settings as an initial QTVR/flash viewpoint. * Panning to a viewpoint, saving the project and using nona to extract a high-res version of the view. * This extracted view can be edited in something like the gimp and reinserted into the panorama - Basically the functionality of the old pteditor tool.
