EBSD.updateUnitCell edit page

this function should be called after the spatial coordinates of an EBSD data set have been modified

Syntax

ebsd = updateUnitCell(ebsd,uc,varargin)

Options

hint a candidate unit cell (e.g. derived from a file's own header step size). calcUnitCell's statistical position-based estimate is always computed as the baseline/fallback; the hint is preferred over it whenever the estimate cannot contradict it - either because there were no positions for calcUnitCell to estimate from at all, or because it agrees with the hint. Anything else keeps the estimate and warns: positions and unit cell describing different things is worse than an unscaled map, because nothing downstream can tell.
All remaining options are passed on to calcUnitCell, so that the grid options GridResolution, GridType and GridRotation reach it from EBSD.load. Any of them makes the cell a requested one rather than a measured one, and a hint is then ignored.
