I have created this bundle to make the editing of the next generation GPlates
rotation files (*.grot
) easier in TextMate. The bundle primarily does syntax highlighting using
TextMate grammars and allows for code completion
with snippets such as mprs
expanding to a full Moving Plate rotation sequence header. Currently, the implementation
is fully backwards-compatible so
that all applications relying on the old PLATES rotation file format can still read the files with the new format.
.
It should be possible to import the TextMate Grammar/bundle into the popular VS Code editor which uses the TextMate Grammar.
Contributions to this bundle are happily acccepted - also, you can add issues using the issue tracker.
For background on the new rotation file standard please see
https://wiki.paleoearthlabs.org/software/gplates/grot/start and the supplementary material to Qin et al. (2012) here where the initial version of the new *.GROT
file syntax is described.
The original Fossil repository is mirrored on SourceHut.
Installation
Download a zip file from the repository on my website or on SourceHut. Double-clicking will install it in
~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Pristine Copy/Bundles
. Once you open a .grot
File you should see
the syntax coloring, clicking the little cog at the bottom of the TextMate window will show the available functions/snippets.
Any edits you make to the files in the bundle will cause TextMate to create a new local copy of the bundle which
is stored in ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Bundles
Using the Terminal:
mkdir -p ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Pristine\ Copy\Bundles
cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/TextMate/Pristine\ Copy\Bundles
git clone git://git@git.sr.ht/~chhei/GPlates.tmbundle.git "GPlates.tmbundle"
Make sure your current theme as an entity.character
and entity.heading
defined.
Test different themes in case of doubt.
