Description: 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).
