Description

For misorientations with grain exchange symmetry, i.e. o1.antipodal or o2.antipodal is true, the two argument syntax returns the smaller of the distances to o2 and to inv(o2). There is no 'antipodal' option, the flag is taken from the arguments. The single argument syntax is not affected, as angle(o) == angle(inv(o)) anyway.

Syntax

omega = angle(o)
omega = angle(o,'noSymmetry') % ignore symmetry equivalents
omega = angle(o1,o2)

Input

o1, o2 orientation

Output

o1 × o2 angle (double)

Options

`noSymmetry`	`do ignore symmetry`
`noSym1, noSym2`	`do ignore only left or right symmetry`
`max`	`return the maximum rotational angle from all symmetrically equivalent`
