Write Pole Figure Images

Group (Subgroup)

IO (Output)

Description

This Filter creates a standard pole figure image for each Ensemble in a selected Data Container with an Image Geometry. The Filter uses Euler angles in radians and requires the crystal structures for each Ensemble array and the corresponding Ensemble Ids on the Cells. The Filter also requires a mask array to determine which Cells are valid for the pole figure computation.

The pole figure algorithm uses a modified Lambert square to perform the interpolations onto the circle. This is an alternate type of interpolation that the EBSD OEMs do not perform which may make the output from DREAM.3D look slightly different than output obtained from the OEM programs.

Only an advanced user with intimate knowledge of the modified Lambert projection should attempt to change the value for the "Lambert Image Size (Pixels)" input parameter.
