the axis distribution of an SO(3) function, an S2 function of the rotation axes symmetric under the rotations the two frames share; with v its values at the axes v; for two frames the axis distribution of the uniform distribution, exactly; MATLAB’s calcAxisDistribution

Syntax

adf = calcAxisDistribution(mdf)

The axis distribution.

value = calcAxisDistribution(mdf, v)

Its values at the axes v.

adf = calcAxisDistribution(mdf, minAngle=20*degree, maxAngle=40*degree)

Only rotations by 20 to 40 degree.

value = calcAxisDistribution(mdf, v, resolution=1*degree)

A finer angle quadrature.

adf = calcAxisDistribution(cs1, cs2)

Of the uniform distribution.

Description

By default the rotation angle is integrated over the full range the fundamental region allows for the axis in question, by a rectangle rule of the step resolution (2.5 degree). The keywords minAngle and maxAngle restrict that range to a window, which is what the axis angle sections show; an axis for which the window lies outside the fundamental region contributes zero. The quadrature keeps its step, so a narrow window is integrated with few points. The distribution is antipodal for a function with grain exchange.

Input

`f`	SO3Fun, or a crystal frame cs1 for the uniform distribution
`v`	vector3d, the axes to evaluate at, or the second frame cs2

Keywords

keyword	default	description
`bandwidth`	`64`	the bandwidth of the harmonic expansion of adf

Output

`adf`	S2FunHarmonic, or S2FunHandle for the uniform distribution
`value`	the values at the axes v
