gplately refactor large source files?

Some of the source files are growing too large(thousands of lines). Maybe consider to divide them into small files and add sub-folder when necessary. consider, discuss and decide

I came up with some improvements to the subduction teeth functions a while ago (such as specifying tooth size/spacing in points rather than projected units, as well as recalculating and redrawing the teeth when the extent of the plot changes) which involved some fairly extensive changes to the gplately.plot module, so I could have a look at breaking up that file when I implement those changes.

Thanks, but no need to worry about it. I will take care of that.

Hi @cpalfonso

just out of curiosity, are you coming back to work on gplately? What's the plan?

New pygplates will be released soon. The new GPlately release will follow soon. It is not a good time to refactor or touch working code. Put this issue on ice.

In fact, this issue is too broad and vague. It is a very bad example of creating github issues. It is even not good enough for a github Discussion. So, I will not even bother to convert this issue into a discussion.

I will close this issue. If some big source files are causing problems/pain, we should open new issues with specific info, such as which file, what problem, etc.

@michaelchin no offence, but I need to close this issue. -- XQ
