[GPlates-discuss] Rotating multiple sites

Hiya,

I have a database of site localities which I'd like to use GPlates to 
rotate to palaeolocations. I see I can create a feature by digitising a 
single point geometry, assign that to a plate and then rotate it 
successfully, and then get the palaeolocation coordinates from the Query 
feature dialogue.

However, as I have quite a lot of sites to rotate, is there a way to 
batch import the modern day lat-lons, perform the rotations and export 
the paleolocations? (ideally to a format which plays well with GMT). 
Looking through the Docs and mailing-list archive I don't see a way to 
do it...

Any help greatly appreciated!

best wishes
Marcus.
