How do I create stripes image on Mac ?

[bloupi]

Hi all

I can't find a way to create stripes images on mac. PTstripes did it on Mac OS9 but not on OS X. I spent a lot of time to find a utility but I didn't find.

Thanks

What about running Pano2QTVR in a virtual pc environment on your MAC?

Once you have the 6 images, you can use ImageMagick which is open source and available for all platforms.

I automated the proccess using Total Commander and a shortcut key, so I select the 6 images, I press a key, and I get the stripe.

This is my stripe.bat file:
convert %7%2 %7%4 %7%6 %7%3 -rotate -90 %7%5 -rotate 180 %7%1 -rotate -90 +append %7%1.tif
del %7%1
del %7%2
del %7%3
del %7%4
del %7%5
del %7%6


Which is located in the ImageMagick folder.

In the start menu of Total Commander I have such a command:
Command: C:\gfx\im\stripe.bat
Parameters: %S6 %p
Start path: C:\gfx\im\

The important thing here is to call:
convert E.jpg S.jpg W.jpg N.jpg -rotate -90 T.jpg -rotate 180 B.jpg -rotate -90 +append mystripe.tif

the two -rotate commands might be different depending on the rotation of your top and bottom images. Do some tests if wrong.

Hopefully this helps someone.
