Digital Image Stitching II

Hi, me again.

Sorry to start a new thread but the previous one is getting a bit long, and
I though this new question might get lost in the mist...

So, I've had a play with Autostitch, Hugin and Pandora for GIMP. Didn't have
much joy with Pandora, couldn't really work out how to use it within the
GIMP interface, but GIMP runs slowly on my computer anyway, so it would
probably have been a bit laborious trying to use that.
Autostitch is excellent! Not sure how it works, but obviously written by
someone very clever...

Hugin is also pretty neat, though it requires a lot more effort. I had quite
encouraging success playing with it last night. The series of photos were a
bit rough and ready, and I didn't take any care to ensure they were all
taken from exactly the same point so there was a fair bit of parallax
difference between the images. It kind of worked though, and I now have a
lovely 180 degrees panarama of my living room... :-)
Question on Hugin though, can it handle more than one row of photos, that is
can it stitch a BLOCK of pictures together, say a 4x3 block or will it only
do single height 'strips' of pictures (1x2, 1x3, 1x4 etc.). The reason I ask
is that the interface only seems to let you set control points between a
picture and one other picture. To stitch 2 dimentional blocks of photos,
you'd need to be able to set control points between a picture and up to four
others...

Hope that makes sense, and that someone can give me an answer :-)

Chris.
