return the spatial bounding box of a map or image.

Syntax

bounds = extent(ebsd)

Description

For an MTEX object, extent(x, …) calls x.extent(…). Additional positional and keyword arguments are passed to that method unchanged. Its documentation specifies the accepted inputs, units, symmetry handling and optional outputs. Consult the corresponding method for the behaviour of a particular object type.

Signature

extent(x, *args, **kwargs)

Methods it calls

EBSD	the bounds of the measured positions, [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax]
EBSD3	the bounding box of the voxels, [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax], the padding left out
EBSDFileInfo	the lengths the grid spans along its axes, in the scan unit
gnomonicProjection	the radius of the polar angle 80 degrees, the extent of a gnomonic chart
grain3d	the box of the vertices, [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax]
mapImage	[xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax, zmin, zmax] of the pixel centres
sphericalProjection	the radius of the whole hemisphere, the natural extent of a chart
