Description: This package provides helper functions for working with
        multiple Visium capture areas that overlap each other. This
        package was developed along with the companion example use case
        data available from
        https://github.com/LieberInstitute/visiumStitched_brain.
        visiumStitched prepares SpaceRanger (10x Genomics) output files
        so you can stitch the images from groups of capture areas
        together with Fiji. Then visiumStitched builds a
        SpatialExperiment object with the stitched data and makes an
        artificial hexagonal grid enabling the seamless use of spatial
        clustering methods that rely on such grid to identify
        neighboring spots, such as PRECAST and BayesSpace. The
        SpatialExperiment objects created by visiumStitched are
        compatible with spatialLIBD, which can be used to build
        interactive websites for stitched SpatialExperiment objects.
        visiumStitched also enables casting SpatialExperiment objects
        as Seurat objects.
