What is GPlates?
GPlates is desktop software application for the interactive visualisation of plate tectonics.
GPlates uses an unique mix of interactive plate tectonic restorations, geographical details system (GIS) performance and raster information visualisation. GPlates makes it possible for both the visualisation and the control of plate tectonic restorations and associated information through geological time. GPlates operate on Windows, Linux and macOS. GPlates has an online user handbook.
GPlates and pyGPlates are both complimentary software application (likewise called open-source software application), accredited for circulation under the GNU General Public License (GPL), variation 2.
GPlately is a Python plan which makes it possible for the restoration of information through deep geological time (points, lines, polygons, and rasters), the interrogation of plate kinematic details (plate speeds, rates of subduction and seafloor dispersing), the fast contrast in between numerous plate movement designs, and the outlining of rebuilt output information on maps.

GPlates 2.4 launched
A note about GPlates 2.4:-
This release consists of mainly bug repairs (compared to GPlates 2.3). We've likewise included some Scientific Colour Maps by Fabio Crameri to our builtin colour combinations.
Most brand-new performance is still in advancement and will go into the GPlates 3.0 release (late 2024). This is due to the fact that it depends upon the graphics engine upgrade presently in development (that allows making use of fairly modern-day hardware in last 10 years on all desktop platforms with the replacement of OpenGL with Vulkan).
