Functions

This page lists the assorted functions of the GPlately Python package.

Reconstruction 

`gplately.reconstruct_grid`	Reconstruct a gridded dataset to a given reconstruction time.
`gplately.reconstruct_points`	Reconstruct points to the given time(s).
`gplately.reconstruct_points_impl`	Similar to `gplately.reconstruct_points()`.
`gplately.reverse_reconstruct_points`	Wrapper function to reverse reconstruct points with `gplately.reconstruct_points()`.
`gplately.reverse_reconstruct_points_impl`	Wrapper function to reverse reconstruct points with `gplately.reconstruct_points_impl()`.

`gplately.resolve_topologies`	Resolve topologies at a specified time and save (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).
`gplately.resolve_topological_snapshot`	From the specified topological snapshot, save (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).
`gplately.resolve_topologies_into_features`	Resolve topologies at a specified time and return resolved topologies and their boundary sections as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges (ridge/transform) and others (not subduction zones or mid-ocean ridges).
`gplately.resolve_topological_snapshot_into_features`	From the specified topological snapshot, return resolved topologies and their boundary sections as subduction zones, mid-ocean ridges (ridge/transform) and others (not subduction zones or mid-ocean ridges).

`gplately.auxiliary`	A set of helper functions designed to streamline the use of GPlately’s functionalities, minimizing the coding effort required from users.
`gplately.read_netcdf_grid`	Read grid data from a NetCDF (.nc) file.
`gplately.ridge_spreading_rate`	Calculate the spreading rate of ridge segments (and other statistics like spreading obliquity, and ridge length/normals and left/right plates).
`gplately.subduction_convergence`	Find the convergence and absolute velocities sampled along trenches (subduction zones) at a particular geological time.
