===== Satellite and Radar =====

=== Class overview ===
  * Sat
  * SatPlot
  * SatManager
  * MItiff

=== Libraries used ===
  * diMItiff

=== Sat ===

Info about one satellite product
(one time, all channels)
  * data
  * calibration
  * projection
  * dimensions
  * channels


=== SatPlot ===
Has one Sat object, and know how to plot it

=== SatManager ===

== Parse setup == 
  * Product
    * filenames
    * times available  (from filename)
  
== Answer requests ==

  * Which times are available 

  * Header information from one product (time, projection,calibration, channels etc)
 
  * SatPlot object from one product 

=== MItiff ===

  * Static functions 
  * Interface between diana and the library diMItiff
  * The library functions reads just the header or header and data into some internal structure. 
  * The functions in the class MItiff puts the header info and the data into a Sat object

==== Setup ====

== Current syntax ==
''image=Radar-obs \\
  channels= PSC_Z \\
  sub.type = Norden_2km_dBZ\\
      file = $(OPDATA3)/nordrad/mitiff/RRPSC_Z_DNORDIC_2000_[yyyymmddHHMM].mitiff\\
''

Some additional info about file type are needed

== New syntax ==
''image=Radar-obs \\
  channels= PSC_Z \\
  sub.type = Norden_2km_dBZ\\
      type = mitiff \\
      file = $(OPDATA3)/nordrad/mitiff/RRPSC_Z_DNORDIC_2000_[yyyymmddHHMM].mitiff\\
''

==== How to implement a new interface ====

== Change SatManager ==
  * parse and keep type information (MItiff default)
  * call the right static function depending on type, now only MItiff functions are called

== Make a new class which contains static functions which return ==

  * Header info
  * Palette
  * data
  * day_night (only used in the function which sets channels depending on solar height)
