[aspect-devel] Localizing processes on spherical shell models

[Rene Gassmoeller]

Hi Eleonora,

There are a few different ways to do this, depending on what works best
for you. 1. You could compute spherical or geographical coordinates
within Paraview using calculators and then compare coordinates to plate
models in GPlates or Google Earth (cumbersome). 2. You can load a
coastlines visualization into Paraview (I opened a pull request that
includes a global coastlines dataset here
https://github.com/geodynamics/aspect/pull/2028, feel free to use that
file), this is probably simplest. 3. You can export a slice of data from
Paraview and reformat the data for use in GMT, this produces the
prettiest pictures, but is the most work.

If anyone on the list has a better approach, I am interested in learning
about it, since I am facing the same question quite often.

Best,

Rene
