class pygplates.GpmlOldPlatesHeader

Bases: pygplates.PropertyValue

A property value containing metadata inherited from imported PLATES data files.

__init__(region_number, reference_number, string_number, geographic_description, plate_id_number, age_of_appearance, age_of_disappearance, data_type_code, data_type_code_number, data_type_code_number_additional, conjugate_plate_id_number, colour_code, number_of_points)

Create a property value containing PLATES metadata.

Parameters:

• string_number (int) – string number
• geographic_description (string) – geographic description
• plate_id_number (float) – plate id number
• age_of_appearance (float) – age of appearance
• age_of_disappearance (int) – age of disappearance
• data_type_code (string) – data type code
• data_type_code_number (int) – data type code number
• data_type_code_number_additional (string) – data type code number additional
• conjugate_plate_id_number (int) – conjugate plate id number
• colour_code (int) – colour code
• number_of_points (int) – number of points - not counting the final ‘terminator’ point (99.0000,99.0000)
