Introduction

What is Panini

Panini can load most common photo and panoramic formats from image files such as those created with hugin or QuickTimeVR (QTVR .mov) files. Like all pano viewers, it then shows a linear perspective view that can be panned and zoomed. But Panini can also display a range of wide angle perspectives via the stereographic and “Pannini” vedutismo families of projections, and shift, rotate, and stretch the image like a software view camera.
