gplately.resolve_topological_snapshot_into_features

gplately.resolve_topological_snapshot_into_features(topological_snapshot: TopologicalSnapshot, transform_segment_deviation_in_radians=1.2217304763960306, resolve_topology_types: int = 6)[source]

From the specified topological snapshot, returns resolved topologies and their boundary sections as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges (ridge/transform) and others (not subduction zones or mid-ocean ridges).

Parameters:

topological_snapshot (pygplates.TopologicalSnapshot) – Topology snapshot containing the resolved topologies at a particular reconstruction time.
transform_segment_deviation_in_radians (number) – How much a mid-ocean ridge segment can deviate from the stage pole before it’s considered a transform segment (in radians).
resolve_topology_types – A bitwise combination of any of pygplates.ResolveTopologyType.boundary or pygplates.ResolveTopologyType.network. Defaults to both boundaries and networks.

Returns a tuple containing the following lists…

resolved topology features (topological plates and networks)
ridge and transform boundary sections (resolved features)
ridge boundary sections (resolved features)
transform boundary sections (resolved features)
subduction boundary sections (resolved features)
left subduction boundary sections (resolved features)
right subduction boundary sections (resolved features)
other boundary sections (resolved features) that are not subduction zones or mid-ocean ridges (ridge/transform)

Note

This is similar to resolve_topologies_into_features but is more efficient if you already have a topological snapshot because it avoids resolving topologies again (the topological snapshot already contains resolved topologies for a particular reconstruction time).
