Generate Misorientation Colors¶
Group (Subgroup)¶
Processing (Crystallography)
Description¶
This Filter will generate colors based on the method developed by C. Schuh and S. Patala for cubic, hexagonal, tetragonal, or orthorhombic crystal structures (currently only the cubic high symmetry is working)[1]. Orientations are colored by disorientation relative to a reference orientation. The user can enter a Reference Orientation Axis and a Reference Orientation Angle relative to the sample reference frame. The default reference orientation is the sample frame (misorientation from sample frame: 0o about [001]). The Filter also has the option to apply a black color to all "bad" Elements, as defined by a boolean mask array, which can be generated using the Threshold Objects Filter.
Important Implementation Notes¶
The user should be aware of the crystal symmetry (Laue Group and Point Group) of their data. The Filter is only valid for certain point groups within a Laue group (See table below).
Color Output Notes¶
With other coloring methods, such as IPF, "bad" Elements which result from non-indexed EBSD scans can be colored with a black color. Since the misorientation coloring scheme uses all possible colors, marking voxels in an image in such a way that the voxels stand out is not possible.
