System Overview

BERA Tools is organized into clear layers:

• beratools/tools: thin tool entry points (CLI/GUI-facing)
• beratools/core: core algorithms and processing logic
• beratools/gui: desktop GUI and parameter widgets
• beratools/utility: shared helpers (arguments, environment checks, spatial helpers)

Design principles

• Separation of concerns: tool wrappers stay lightweight; heavy logic remains in core modules.
• Single source of tool metadata: GUI and CLI parameter behavior derives from tool configuration.
• Consistent execution model: tools support CLI and GUI call modes with shared runtime behaviors.

Module responsibilities

• tools/*: validate/collect inputs, call corresponding core logic, write outputs.
• core/*: geometric/raster algorithms, optimization, line processing.
• gui/*: exposes tools and parameters for interactive use.
