Save the reconstructed data to shapefiles.

The "get_" methods return GeoDataFrame objects. You may save the data to other file formats, check out the GeoDataFrame doc.

from gplately import auxiliary

# use the auxiliary function to create a PlotTopologies instance
gplot = auxiliary.get_gplot("Muller2019", time=100)  # 100Ma

# save the reconstructed geometries to shapefiles
gplot.get_continents().to_file("continents_100Ma.shp")
gplot.get_coastlines().to_file("coastlines_100Ma.shp")
gplot.get_topological_plate_boundaries().to_file(
    "topological_plate_boundaries_100Ma.shp"
)
