GOES13/GOES15 selection independent of directory name

Because GOES13/GOES15 segments are transmitted in both Data Channel 3 and Data Channel 4 it was necessary for EumetcastView that the directory names did contain the string 'Data Channel 3' or 'Data Channel 4'. This is no longer necessary. Eumetcast transmits the full earth images in 'Data Channel 3' every 3 hours and the partial images in 'Data Channel 4' every hour except when there is an image in 'Data Channel 3'.
This change allows you to view the GOES images processed via the MSG Data Manager.

Dockable colourmap window

Depending on your system memory it was possible that EUMETCastView v1.1.3 was unable to start.
In this release I fixed this bug. Also the colourmap for the infrared pictures is dockable on top or bottom of the screen.

False color images from VIIRS M-band

This version allows to create false color images from VIIRS for the bands M12 to M16.

Combination picture of VIIRS M and VIIRS DNB images

• Added a Configuration database for VIIRS M.
• The VIIRS M and VIIRS DNB images have there own image memory, and so it is possible to view the two images together.
• Change of the Projection tab to include the new input image.
• New radiobutton in the Projection tab that allows to combine the VIIRS M and VIIRS DNB images.
• Moved the track buttons vertical to the right and included an overview counter of the selected segments.

VIIRS DNB images with geolocation added

The following features are added :

• Decoding of VIIRS DNB images with geolocation.
• Bilinear interpolation for GAC and Noaa. The interpolation works now for VIIRS (DNB and M band), Metop, GAC and Noaa.
• Points of interest database (POI).

VIIRS geolocation near poles and dateline added

• For VIIRS images the geolocation near the poles and dateline works.
• Bilinear interpolation for Metop and Noaa.
• Removed the "jaggies" on the border of the projection image.

Reading of the datafiles are now compatible with David Taylor's programs.

The original file structure of the datafiles was for example : received/Data Channel 1/YYYYMMDD/.
This has been changed to : received/Data Channel 1/YYYY/MM/DD/. In the 'List of segment directories' you add something like Z:/received/Data Channel 1. The calendar selects the day.
The 'Number of hours before the selected calendar date' (only for polar satellites) allows you to include segments from the last hours of the day before. This is important if you like to make a combination image of different tracks and the time (UTC) of one track is before 00:00:00 UTC.

Added projection capability for Himawari-8 images

The three different projections are now possible for Himawari images.
Also a messagebox will popup if no colors are selected in the combobox next to the spectrum buttons.
The annoying flashing of the country borders during the build up of an Himawari image is also eliminated.

Himawari-8 images included

Another tab is added to the 'Geostationary satellite' screen.

Bilinear interpolation algorithm for VIIRS images

The following changes were made:

• The program will start with the last selection made for VIIRS and geostationary images.
• The processing of the VIIRS images runs in a worker thread.
• For the smoothing of the VIIRS images a bilinear interpolation algorithm was used.
