title: 'Battlefield: Swiss-army toolkit for selecting niche fronts and invasive margins
  in spatial transcriptomics data'
version: 1.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.Battlefield
abstract: Battlefield is a Swiss-army toolkit originally developed to define and extract
  spatial spots from specific tissue regions—such as front regions, niche borders,
  invasive margins, and cluster interfaces—using spatial transcriptomics data or clustered
  tissue maps. It has since been extended to support trajectory selection and layer
  inspection, and now provides a collection of low-level utilities for spatial transcriptomics
  analysis. These utilities are primarily intended to be reused within higher-level
  analytical packages. It is designed to work with sequencing-based platforms such
  as Visium at several resolutions and Visium HD(binned).
