				TMLook
a multi functional analysis and interpretation tool devoted to the satellite experiment LANDSAT  
================================================================================================

  TMLook is able to handle some of the different user format distributions for LANDSAT TM programs
(We just need to get more distribution format examples to complete the software)
The main functionalities offered by TMLook are :

    * Direct display of images and ancillary data and file header.
    * Radiometric calibration from ancillary calibration data.
    * Dump of selected data as binary files (calibrated or raw).
    * Basic functions for enhance images, scatter plot, transect and histogram for user-defined areas.
    * The software allows you to visualize the file values as images using the native projection.
    * An atmospheric corrected colour composite image using bands 0.4, 0.5, and .6 m as blue, green, 
		red is provided, to facilitate the image analysis.
    * It also performs a tool to reproject images in linear projection.
    * A communication layer is implemented in the software and can be interfaced with virtually open
	 networked database. Currently, the AERONET database located at LOA and GSFC are accessible
	 and can be called to get for a particular pixel of an image, the aerosol optical thickness
	 or Angström coefficient reported by a network of automounted sun photometers distributed over
	 the globe. Such a functionality allows aerosol users to directly compare their results to AERONET database.
    * Lastly, a particular effort has always been to produce an efficiency and portable software. 

This software is a first step to visualize LANDSAT TM products. Its very simple C and XWindows 
	architecture allows the developers to add any useful user adding or remark.
