====== A TextMate bundle for GPlates rotation files ======

Although [[http://gplates.org|GPlates]] allows to modify and edit rotation files, most of the times I actually use [[https://macromates.com|TextMate]] as preferred text editor for modifications to individual moving plate rotation sequences by hand. In addition, the upcoming GPlates rotation format change to the new ''*.GROT'' format ([[software:gplates:grot:start|see the gory details here]] and a technical paper on [[http://www.geosci-instrum-method-data-syst.net/1/111/2012/|the GPGIM in general here]]) requires a bit more metadata to be added to individual rotations. So I have decided cumbersome hand-editing can be replaced by code snippets and command completion using TextMate's bundles and created a new GROT bundle for Textmate. The code is available [[https://bitbucket.org/chhei/grot-bundle|on my BitBucket site]] as git repository for download, forking and public contributions.

Here are some screenshots of the new bundle in action with the Cobalt-Theme in Textmate:
