a colour key drawn as the colours it gives the directions of its sector, an inverse pole figure key as its direction key; MATLAB’s directionColorKey.plot and ipfColorKey.plot

Syntax

plot(HSVDirectionKey(cs))

The key on the fundamental sector.

plot(ipfHSVKey(cs), resolution=1*degree)

An inverse pole figure key, coarser.

plot(key, fundamentalRegion=False)

On the whole region of the charts.

plot(key, complete=True)

On the whole sphere.

Description

The key is evaluated on the grid of every chart and drawn as an rgb surface; outside the sector a direction takes the colour of its equivalent inside. The other keywords are those of the spherical plots.

Input

key a direction key (HSVDirectionKey, TSLDirectionKey, HKLDirectionKey, …) or an ipfColorKey

Keywords

keyword default description
resolution 0.5*degree the spacing of the grid
fundamentalRegion True draw the key’s sector only; complete=True sets it False

Output

h the matplotlib meshes
