colorize grains

Syntax

plot(cS)
plot(cS,'colored')

Colorize different faces.

plot(cS,'colored',ipfKey)
plot(x,y,cS)
plot(x,y,z,cS)
plot(xy,cS)
plot(cS,'faceColor','red','faceAlpha',0.5,'edgeColor','k')

Colorize by property.

plot(cS,'faceColor',cS.faceAraea)
plot(cS, Miller(1,1,0,cS.CS,'hkl'))

Plot an inner plane.

plot(cS, sS)

Visualize a slip system.

Input

cS crystalShape
x,y coordinates
xy nx2 or nx3 coordinate matrix
sS slipSystem

Options

PatchProperty all matlab patch properties
legendSpacing distance in pixel between the plot and the legend drawn by the option |colored| (default: innerPlotSpacing)

Output

h graphics handle

Example

define and plot a crystal shape

cS = crystalShape.olivine;
plot(cS,'faceAlpha',0.2,'colored')
%
% define and plot a crystal plane and a crystal direction
d = Miller(1,0,1,'uvw',cS.CS);
n = Miller(1,0,-1,'hkl',cS.CS);
hold on
plotInnerFace(cS,n,'faceColor','red','DisplayName','\(\{10\bar1\}\)','faceAlpha',0.5)
plotInnerDirection(cS,d,'faceColor','blue','arrowWidth',0.05,'DisplayName','\(\langle 101 \rangle\)')
hold off
