معرفی Whitebox Geospatial Analysis Tools

1. Whitebox GAT now contains over 370 tools for performing advanced geospatial analysis, many of which are relevant for the field of geomorphometry. 
2. Whitebox is open-source and transparent software. The concept of software transparency that has guided the development of Whitebox is a very novel contribution and improvement over traditional open-source development strategies that we hope will encourage an active development community. Imagine using a GIS for a specific application or teaching. You may use a certain tool and wonder, 'how exactly does this work?' You might first try the help documentation, but it may not be detailed enough (i.e. down to the level of the implemented algorithm) to give you the information you desire. Now image that you could press a single button that is on the tool's dialog box and it would bring you to the very page in the enormous library of the GIS packages code that is the tool's algorithm. Even better, imagine that you then had the capability to translate the code from its original source file into a programming language that you can read! That's exactly what transparent software is all about.
