proc newWhiteboxTools(): WhiteboxTools {...}{.raises: [OSError], tags: [ReadIOEffect].}

Creates a new WhiteboxTools object to interface with the WhiteboxTools library. The working directory is initially set to the current directory. The WhiteboxTools executable is assumed to be within the same directory as this application.

proc setWorkingDirectory(self: var WhiteboxTools; wd: string) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Sets the working directory, i.e. the directory in which the data files are located. By setting the working directory, tool input parameters that are files need only specify the file name rather than the complete file path.

proc getWorkingDirectory(self: WhiteboxTools): string {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns the current working directory.

proc setExecutableDirectory(self: var WhiteboxTools; dir: string) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns the directory to the WhiteboxTools executable file.

proc setVerboseMode(self: var WhiteboxTools; val: bool) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is false, tools will not print output messages. Tools will frequently provide substantial feedback while they are operating, e.g. updating progress for various sub-routines. When the user has scripted a workflow that ties many tools in sequence, this level of tool output can be problematic. By setting verbose mode to false, these messages are suppressed and tools run as background processes.

proc getVerboseMode(self: WhiteboxTools): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Returns the current verbose mode.

proc setCallback(self: var WhiteboxTools; callback: proc (line: string)) {...}{.raises: [],
    tags: [].}

Sets the callback used for handling tool text outputs.

proc setDefaultCallback(self: var WhiteboxTools) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

proc setCompressRasters(self: var WhiteboxTools; val: bool) {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}

Sets the flag used by WhiteboxTools to determine whether to use compression for output rasters. This is only valid for GeoTIFF tool outputs.

proc getCompressRasters(self: WhiteboxTools): bool {...}{.raises: [], tags: [].}
