[GPlates-discuss] Cross-overs in v2.0

[Lester Anderson]

Hi Dietmar, Christian,

Yes, I meant that GPlates in the past did not compute the cross-over
from one plate to another (eg collisions) based on the .ROT file and
we had to sort it manually through the rotation file.

I know that there is a tutorial on how to handle these issues.

Thanks for the info on the pyGplates workaround, will look into that.

Cheers
Lester
