This Python package allows users to access GPlates Web Service more easily via simple Python programming interface.

Installation

pip install gplates-ws-proxy

How to use

The following Python code reconstructs three locations to 100Ma with Muller2019 reconstruction model.

  # pip install gplates-ws-proxy shapely
  import shapely
  from gplates_ws_proxy import PlateModel, reconstruct_shapely_points

  lats = [50, 10, 50]
  lons = [-100, 160, 100]
  points = [shapely.Point(x, y) for x, y in zip(lons, lats)]

  model = PlateModel("Muller2019")
  paleo_points = reconstruct_shapely_points(model, points, 100)
  print(paleo_points)
