gplately.resolve_topologies

gplately.resolve_topologies(rotation_features_or_model, topology_features, time, output_filename_prefix, output_filename_extension, transform_segment_deviation_in_radians=1.2217304763960306, anchor_plate_id=None, resolve_topology_types: int = 6)[source]

Resolves topologies at specified time and saves (to separate files) the resolved topologies, and their boundary sections as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges (ridge/transform) and others (not subduction zones or mid-ocean ridges).

Parameters:

rotation_features_or_model – Rotation model or feature collection(s), or list of features, or filename(s).
topology_features – Topology feature collection(s), or list of features, or filename(s) or any combination of those.
time (number) – Reconstruction time to resolve topologies.
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).
anchor_plate_id (int, optional) – Anchor plate ID. If not specified then defaults to 0 if using rotation features, or the default anchor plate of the rotation model if using one.
resolve_topology_types – A bitwise combination of any of pygplates.ResolveTopologyType.boundary or pygplates.ResolveTopologyType.network. Defaults to both boundaries and networks.

Writes output files containing the following features…

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)
