pygplates.ReconstructedFeatureGeometry

class pygplates.ReconstructedFeatureGeometry

Bases: pygplates.ReconstructionGeometry

The geometry of a feature reconstructed to a geological time.

The reconstruct() function can be used to generate ReconstructedFeatureGeometry instances.

Note

A single feature can have multiple geometry properties, and hence multiple reconstructed feature geometries, associated with it.
Therefore each ReconstructedFeatureGeometry references a different property of the feature via get_property().

Methods

__init__

Raises an exception This class cannot be instantiated from Python

get_feature()

Returns the feature associated with this ReconstructedFeatureGeometry.

get_present_day_geometry()

Returns the present day geometry.

get_property()

Returns the feature property containing the present day (unreconstructed) geometry associated with this ReconstructedFeatureGeometry.

get_reconstructed_geometry()

Returns the reconstructed geometry.

get_reconstruction_time()

Returns the reconstruction time that this instance was created at.

get_feature()

Returns the feature associated with this ReconstructedFeatureGeometry.

Return type

Feature

Note

Multiple reconstructed feature geometries can be associated with the same feature if that feature has multiple geometry properties.

get_present_day_geometry()

Returns the present day geometry.

Return type

GeometryOnSphere

get_property()

Returns the feature property containing the present day (unreconstructed) geometry associated with this ReconstructedFeatureGeometry.

Return type

Property

This is the Property that the present day geometry and the reconstructed geometry are obtained from.

get_reconstructed_geometry()

Returns the reconstructed geometry.

Return type

GeometryOnSphere
