spatial EBSD plot

Syntax

% colorize according to phase
plot(ebsd)
% colorize according to arbitrary value - here MAD
plot(ebsd,ebsd.mad)
% colorize according to orientation
plot(ebsd('phaseName'),ebsd('phaseName').orientation)
% colorize according to custom color
oM = ipfColorKey(ebsd('phaseName'))
color = oM.orientation2color(ebsd('phaseName').orientations);
plot(ebsd('phaseName'),color)
% specify the color directly and show in Legend
badMAD = ebsd.mad > 1;
plot(ebsd(badMAD),'faceColor','black,'DisplayName','bad values')
% plot a subregion
plot(ebsd,ebsd.orientation,'region',[xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax])

Input

ebsd EBSD
color length(ebsd) x 3 vector of RGB values

Options

micronbar 'on'/'off'
refFrame 'on'/'off' - indicate the alignment of the specimen reference frame inside the scale bar box, see scaleBar
refFrameDirs vector3d, the directions to indicate (default xvector, yvector, zvector)
refFrameLabels cell of char, their labels (default {'x','y','z'})
backend surf, patch, imagesc
DisplayName add a legend entry
region [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax] plotting region

Flags

points plot dots instead of unitcells
exact plot exact unitcells, even for large maps

Example

mtexdata forsterite
plot(ebsd)
ebsd = EBSD (y↑→x)

colorize according to orientations

plot(ebsd('Forsterite'),ebsd('Forsterite').orientations)

colorize according to MAD

plot(ebsd,ebsd.mad,'micronbar','off')
