This is a limited set of commands from pfstools package (v2.1.1), which has been compiled with Visual Studio and MinGW. It includes "pfsview" for viewing HDR images and Matlab *.mexw64 files. 

These are provided for convenience as both pfsview and Matlab mex files must be natively compiled.  

pfstools project web site: http://pfstools.sourceforge.net/

Note that it is recommended to compile and use pfstools on Windows with cygwin as documented in README.Cygwin in the source tree of pfstools. Windows does not natively offer a powerful shell, which is required to take the full advantage of pfstools. cygwin, which emulates Unix environment, offers such a shell and all libraries necessary to compile pfstools.

The main benefit of this package is that it allows to run pfsview natively on Windows without an X-window client. If you have pfstools installed under cygwin, you can create a symlink:

ln -s "/cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/pfstools/bin/pfsview.exe" /usr/local/bin/pfsview

from cygwin shell window to run the native version of pfsview. You can run command compiled with Visual Studio and gcc (cygwin) interchangeably. 


================
Installation:
================

Copy the pfstools directory to C:\Program Files (x86)\ or other directory. Update the path in bin/pfs_shell.bat as needed. 

================
Running pfstools commands:
================

You can either:

1. Double click on "bin/Start shell for pfstools". Then you can run:

pfsinrgbe test.hdr | pfsview

assuming that test.hdr is in the current directory.

Or, 

2. Add <install dir>/bin to the Windows path, then open shell (run "cmd") and use pfs commands as usual.

================
Matlab:
================

This package also contains pre-compiled MEX files, which were tested to work with 9.6.0.1150989 (R2019a) Update 4 and should also work with newer versions. Note that Matlab functions require pfstools compiled with cygwin.
