# GPlatesHelpers
Quick scripts to make the GPlates software less annoying to use
+
+Adds linebreaks to .rot files to help readability, and removes them again so the software doesn't complain
+
+- [Download linebreakadder.exe](https://github.com/jwansek/GPlatesHelpers/releases/download/default/linebreakadder.exe)
+- [Download linebreakremover.exe](https://github.com/jwansek/GPlatesHelpers/releases/download/default/linebreakremover.exe)
+
+## Line Break Remover
+

+
+Adds linebreaks when the first number is different, e.g.:
