A method of PoleFigure.

the pole figures corrected for background and defocusing

Syntax

pf = pf.correct(background=pfBg)

The background subtracted.

pf = pf.correct(defocusing=pfDef)

The defocusing divided out.

pf = pf.correct(background=pfBg, defocusing=pfDef, defocusingBackground=pfDefBg)

Both, the defocusing without its background.

Description

The background is subtracted from the intensities, and they are divided by the defocusing, from which its own background is subtracted first. Each correction is a PoleFigure of its own or a number. One measured pole figure serves all, and a correction measured on other specimen directions is interpolated onto those of pf: spherically where it covers the sphere, by a cubic spline in the polar angle where it is measured along a curve, as a defocusing usually is.

Input

pf PoleFigure

Keywords

keyword default description
background None PoleFigure or number, the background (MATLAB’s option bg)
defocusing None PoleFigure, the defocusing (MATLAB’s option def)
defocusingBackground None PoleFigure or number, the background of the defocusing measurement (MATLAB’s option defbg)

Output

pf PoleFigure, the corrected intensities
