Section definitions for plotting orientation distribution functions at fixed Euler angles, directions or rotation parameters.

Class or function	Description
ODFSections	sections through orientation space
eulerSections	sections of constant Euler angle, the first or the third of a convention
alphaSections	sections of constant alpha in the Matthies (ZYZ) convention
axisAngleSections	sections of constant rotation angle, each on the axis sector the region allows there
gammaSections	sections of constant gamma in the Matthies (ZYZ) convention
pfSections	pole figure sections: the pole figure of h1, split by the twist of h2 about it
sigmaSections	pole figure sections of the c axis split by the twist sigma of the a axis about it, the sections MATLAB’s sigma sections draw
phi1Sections	sections of constant phi1 in the Bunge convention
phi2Sections	sections of constant phi2 in the Bunge convention, MTEX’s default ODF sections
newODFSectionPlot	the sections a plot uses: phi2 sections against a specimen, axis angle sections between two crystals, or the kind named (MATLAB newODFSectionPlot)
sectionIndex	the section a coordinate falls in, or -1 when it falls beside every one: the distance to a section value taken over the period of the coordinate
sectionTolerance	the tolerance a section reaches: never more than half the gap to its neighbour
