the shapes seen along the normal of a plane, as polygons on the screen: the vertices in the coordinates of the plane under the layout, for the front faces; a layout that flips the plane is seen from the other side, so the other faces are the front ones. Returns the polygons with the shape and the face each one is

Syntax

polys, shape, face = shapeOutlines(ori * cS, ebsd.lattice.plane)

The front faces seen down the map normal.

polys, shape, face = shapeOutlines(cS, ebsd.lattice.plane, layout=[[1, 0], [0, -1]])

Under a layout that flips the plane.

Input

cS crystalShape, one shape or a list of shapes
plane mapPlane or plane3d, the plane the shapes are seen in

Keywords

keyword default description
layout None 2 x 2 matrix, the turn of the plane coordinates to the screen; the identity by default

Output

polys list of (k, 2) arrays, the polygons on the screen
shape int array, the shape every polygon belongs to
face int array, the face of the shape every polygon is
