Types ¶
type Feature ¶
type Feature struct {
Name string
Type Type
Plate int // Plate ID
// Temporal range of the feature
// in years.
Begin int64
End int64
// Geographic coordinates of the feature
Point *Point
Polygon Polygon
}
A Feature is a tectonic feature.
func DecodeGPML ¶
DecodeGPML returns an slice of vector features from a GPML encoded file.
The GPML format is an implementation of XML for tectonic plates modelling, and is the main format used by GPlates software. For a formal description of the GPML format see GPlates GPML documentation.
type Point ¶
A Point is a geographic point.
func ParsePoint ¶
ParsePoint returns a point from an string pair that contains the latitude and longitude of a geographic point.
type Polygon ¶
type Polygon []Point
A Polygon is an ordered collection of points that encloses an area.
func ParsePolygon ¶
ParsePolygon returns a polygon from a string that contains a list of coordinates (latitude and longitude) separated by spaces.
For example:
85.151499473643639 180 83.701321128178307 180 83.870575085724681 178.17567629054798 85.08306008527849 178.86696019920456 85.151499473643639 180
type Type ¶
type Type string
Type is the type of a tectonic element.
const ( Basin Type = "basin" Boundary Type = "plate boundary" Coastline Type = "coastline" // A polygon that represents a boundary // between continental and oceanic crust. Continent Type = "continental boundary" // A large portion of a continental plate // that has been relatively undisturbed // since the Precambrian era. Craton Type = "craton" Fragment Type = "continental fragment" // A generic or unclassified feature. Generic Type = "generic" // A present day surface expression of a mantle plume. HotSpot Type = "hotspot" // A volcanic arc that is formed from magma rising // from a subduction oceanic plate. IslandArc Type = "island arc" // An extensive region of basalts // resulting from flood basalt volcanism. LIP Type = "large igneous province" // A part of a plate boundary // that no longer exists. PaleoBoundary Type = "paleo-boundary" // A passive continental boundary // indicating the change between continental and oceanic crust. Passive Type = "passive continental boundary" // A large-scale structural feature // associated with continental collision. Suture Type = "suture" // A crust fragment formed on a tectonic plate // and accreted to crust lying on another plate. Terrane Type = "terrane" )
Valid types of tectonic elements. This types are taken from the definitions of the GPML format (<https://www.gplates.org/docs/gpgim/>).
