grainBoundary.grainBoundary edit page

Variables of type grainBoundary represent lists of grain boundary segments. Those are typically generated during grain reconstruction and are accessible via

grains.boundary

Each grain boundary segment stores many properties: its position within the map, the ids of the adjacent grains, the ids of the adjacent EBSD measurements, the grain boundary misorientation, etc. These properties are explained in more detail in the section boundary properties.

Class Properties

`V`	`[x,y] list of vertices`
`scanUnit`	`scanning unit (default - um)`
`triplePoints`	`triplePointList`
`F`	`list of boundary segments as ids to V`
`grainId`	`id's of the neighboring grains to a boundary segment`
`ebsdId`	`id's of the neighboring ebsd data to a boundary segment`
`misrotation`	`misrotation between neighboring ebsd data to a boundary segment`

Dependent Class Properties

`misorientation`	`disorientation between neighboring ebsd data to a boundary segment`
`direction`	`direction of the boundary segment as vector3d`
`midPoint`	`x,y coordinates of the midpoint of the segments`
`I_VF`	`incidence matrix vertices - edges`
`I_FG`	`incidence matrix edges - grains`
`A_F`	`adjacency matrix edges - edges`
`A_V`	`adjacency matrix vertices - vertices`
`componentId`	`connected component id`
`componentSize`	`number of segments that belong to the component`
`chainId`	`id of the chain a segment belongs to`
`chainSize`	`number of segments of that chain`
`isChainStart`	`segment is the first of its chain`
`isChainEnd`	`segment is the last of its chain`
`isClosed`	`the chain of this segment closes onto itself`
`arcLength`	`length along the chain up to the end of this segment`
`chainLength`	`total length of the chain this segment belongs to`
`chainV`	`vertex ids of all chains, separated by NaN`
`isJunction`	`vertex is a junction - indexes allV`
`junctionId`	`ids of the junction vertices`
`x`	`x coordinates of the vertices of the grains`
