base class for mapping crystal orientations to RGB colours

Syntax

rgb = key.orientation2color(ori)

Description

Choose an inverse pole figure key to show which crystal direction lies along a specimen direction, or an axis-angle, Euler-angle or spot key to show the whole orientation. The result is a numeric array of shape ori.shape + (3,), with RGB channels in [0, 1], ready to pass to plot. Construct a concrete subclass; this base does not define a colour map.

Input

x crystalFrame, orientation, or single-phase EBSD or grain data supplying the frames
frameB specimenFrame when x is a crystal frame; default specimen frame otherwise

Properties

frameA crystal frame
frameB specimen frame
antipodal grain-exchange symmetry inherited from orientation input

See also

ipfHSVKey, axisAngleColorKey, BungeColorKey, spotColorKey

Members

CS the crystal frame of the key, frameA
orientation2color the colours of orientations, an (…, 3) array in [0, 1]
SS the specimen frame of the key, frameB
