Description

EDAX and EMSphInx write the very same .ang layout but number the phase column differently, and neither states which of the two it used. Since the values alone can not tell them apart the header is fingerprinted: EMSphInx leaves every MaterialName empty, states NumberFamilies 0 and lists no reflectors, where OIM always names the material. Pass the EDAX or the EMSphInx flag to overrule the guess.

Syntax

ebsd = loadEBSD_ang(fname,'setting',2)

Input

fname file name

Options

`EulerCorrection`
`setting`	`alignment of the Euler angle and the map reference frame, 1 to 4, 0 switches the correction off, default is 2, see https://mtex-toolbox.github.io/EBSDReferenceFrame.html`
`headerOnly`	`return only phase/header metadata, skip reading the data`

Flags

`EDAX`	`read the phase column the EDAX way, 1 to N with 0 for not indexed`
`EMSphInx`	`read the phase column the EMSphInx way, 0 to N-1 with 255 for not indexed`
