Title: 'WhiteboxTools' R Frontend
Version: 2.4.3
Description: An R frontend for the 'WhiteboxTools' library, which is an
        advanced geospatial data analysis platform developed by Prof.
        John Lindsay at the University of Guelph's Geomorphometry and
        Hydrogeomatics Research Group. 'WhiteboxTools' can be used to
        perform common geographical information systems (GIS) analysis
        operations, such as cost-distance analysis, distance buffering,
        and raster reclassification. Remote sensing and image
        processing tasks include image enhancement (e.g. panchromatic
        sharpening, contrast adjustments), image mosaicing, numerous
        filtering operations, simple classification (k-means), and
        common image transformations. 'WhiteboxTools' also contains
        advanced tooling for spatial hydrological analysis (e.g.
        flow-accumulation, watershed delineation, stream network
        analysis, sink removal), terrain analysis (e.g. common terrain
        indices such as slope, curvatures, wetness index, hillshading;
        hypsometric analysis; multi-scale topographic position
        analysis), and LiDAR data processing. Suggested citation:
