implements a region in orientation space The region is bounded by planes normal to quaternions N i.e., all quaternions q inside a region satisfy the condition dot(q, N) <= 0 or dot(-q, N) <= 0 for all N

The most common one is the fundamental region of a pair of symmetries, which is what fundamentalRegion returns and what project2FundamentalRegion projects into. Setting antipodal identifies q and inv(q), i.e. adds grain exchange symmetry.

Syntax

oR = fundamentalRegion(cs1,cs2)
oR = orientationRegion(N)
oR = orientationRegion(N,'antipodal')

Input

N quaternion, the normals of the bounding faces
cs1, cs2 crystalSymmetry

Output

oR orientationRegion

Options

antipodal identify q and inv(q)

Class Properties

N quaternion, the normals of the bounding faces
V orientation, the vertices
F the faces as indices into V
E the edges
faceCenter orientation, center of each face
CS1, CS2 the two symmetry
antipodal identify q and inv(q)

Example

oR = fundamentalRegion(crystalSymmetry('432'))
oR = orientationRegion
 
 crystal symmetry:  432
 max angle: 62.7994°
 face normales: 14
 vertices: 24
