 == Installation ==
 
-AplGUI comes in three versions: windows installer, windows standalone and source code. The latest release of the software can be downloaded from here(link). Windows installer requires administrator privileges on your machine and will automatically install the program in specified location and create a shortcut on the Desktop. The standalone version doesn't require installation and will work straight away after extracting from the archive. The source distribution is intended mainly for Linux users and requires Python (http://python.org/getit/) and wxPython (http://www.wxpython.org/download.php) to be installed on the system.

 == Setting up the Project ==
 
-To set up a new project you first need to specify the location of APL files. Go to File menu, select Executable Path... and find the folder containing aplcorr, apltran and aplmap executables.

 Optionally you can specify the output folder, where all the files produced by AplGUI will be put by default.
 
-Once you are happy with your selections you can save the configuration to a file to avoid setting it again every time you start the program. Simply go to File menu > Save Settings and chose a file to store the configuration. You can also store settings for different projects in separate files. To load previously saved settings go to File > Load Settings.

 == Creating an IGM file ==
 
-The first of three panels of AplGUI is used for creating level-3 IGM files from level-1 BIL files using aplcorr package. Simply click the Browse button next to Level-1 BIL file and select the file you wish to process from the list. Once this file has been selected you can press Auto button to automatically populate other fields on the panel with relevant entries.

 Now that you have an IGM file in the required projection it is time to map the level-1 data to a regular grid. You can use the third panel of AplGUI to create a map of level-1 data using projection of the IGM file.

 First select an IGM file produced with either first or the second panel of AplGUI, depending on the projection. Then select the corresponding level-1 file. Finally specify the name for the mapped output file. You will also have to select the bands to be mapped and the pixel size in relevant units, again based on the projection used. Optionally you can adjust some of the advanced settings, like output data type interpolation method or specify a particular are to be mapped.
