pto_gen assembles a Hugin .pto project file that is suitable as input for further tools such as the cpfind control-point generator, or for opening with the Hugin panorama GUI itself. Functionality is similar to match-n-shift.
The general use is
pto_gen *.jpg
This creates a project file from all jpg images, in the same folder as the first photo. The project file is named first_file-last_file.pto using the same convention as the Hugin GUI.
pto_gen was added to Hugin on December 7th 2011 which was after the 2011.04 release, hence it is only available in the development trunk. To get pto_gen try the nightly builds or compile from source.
