This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.

The 'use_panorama' option is now part of a new Camera type: 'Panorama'.
Created two other panorama cameras:
- Equisolid: most of lens in the market simulate this lens - e.g. Nikon, Canon, ...)
this works as a real lens up to an extent. The final result takes the
sensor dimensions into account also.
.:. to simulate a Nikon DX2S with a 10.5mm lens do:
sensor: 23.7 x 15.7
fisheye lens: 10.5
fisheye fov: 180
render dimensions: 4288 x 2848
- Equidistant: this is not a real lens model. Although the old equidistant lens simulate
this lens. The result is always as a circular fisheye that takes the whole sensor
(in other words, it doesn't take the sensor into consideration).
This is perfect for fulldomes ;)
For the UI we have 10 to 360 as soft values and 10 to 3600 as hard values (because we can).

Note, this is not a real simulation of the light path through the lens.
The ideal solution would be this:

Thanks Brecht for the fix, suggestions and code review.
Kudos for the dome community for keeping me stimulated on the topic since 2009 ;)
Patch partly implemented during lab time at VisGraf, IMPA - Rio de Janeiro.
- Added support of variable size sensor width and height.
- Added presets for most common cameras, also new presets can be defined by user.
- Added option to control which dimension (vertical or horizontal) of sensor
size defines FOV. Old behavior of automatic FOV calculation is also kept.
- Renderer, viewport, game engine and collada importer/exporter should
deal fine with this changes. Other exporters would be updated soon.
Original patch by Jan Diederich, adapted by Pelle Johnsen. Review assistance by Daniel Tavares.
This patch adds an option to export only the selection.
