Standard Orientations edit page

This section displays some of the standard orientations that are build into MTEX. The full list of predefined orientations consists of

• Cube, CubeND22, CubeND45, CubeRD
• Goss, invGoss
• Copper, Copper2
• SR, SR2, SR3, SR4
• Brass, Brass2
• PLage, PLage2, QLage, QLage2, QLage3, QLage4

For visualisation we fix a generic cubic crystal symmetry and orthorhombic specimen symmetry

and select a subset of the above predifined orientations

3d Euler angle space

Lets first visualize the orientations in the three dimensional Euler angle space

2d phi2 sections

A second common way of visualizing the orientation space are sections with fixed Euler angle phi2

3d axis angle space

In the three dimensional axis angle space the orientation appear inside the fundamental sector

pole figures

In the major pole figures the predefined orientations appear at the following spots

inverse pole figures

In the inverse pole figure the sitations is as follows. Note that the different size of the markers has been chosen to avoid overprinting.
