Dear All 

I want to plot EBSD map by Mtex-4.2.1 version. *.crc file of scanned Ti64 alloy (alpha + beta phase) is available which is supportable with Mtex import wizrad. after importing data, generated m-script file has been saved finally i used plot (ebsd) command for plotting EBSD map. CS, ebsd, fname and pname have been calculated automatically however, nothing has been revealed in figure (attached file). 
i would appreciate you if you explain me where is my mistake and how can i plot EBSD map?

regards

Dear Peyman,
what exactly do you want to do? The kam is calculated with the function KAM. Did you have a look at the documentation (https://mtex-toolbox.github.io/documentation.html) to get a general idea of working with ebsd data, plotting etc in mtex?

Cheers,
Rüdiger

Dear Kilian 

I am going to clarify my question. it is possible to calculate KAM with Mtex. my main question is about calculation KAM for different orientation. for example i want to calculate KAM for [0001], [10-10] and [11-20] orientation separately. it is possible to do this by TSL OIM software. 

Is it possible to calculate KAM for grains with different orientation?

Hi Peyman,
yes, you can calculate a kam using the function KAM. I'm not entirely sure what you mean with "for different orientations" since [0001] etc are crystal directions, however assuming you have an orientation as a reference, you can select the ebsd of the grains which have a meanOrientation within a certain threshold, e.g. 10degrees to this reference orientation and calculate the kam for this subset.
Assuming your reference orientation would be o and grains would be of a single phase,conceptually this would be:
kam = KAM(ebsd(grains(angle(o,grains.meanOrientation) < 10*degree)))
Of course you could similarly select a subset of grains e.g. with just a crystal direction pointing towards some specimen direction, e.g. 0001 close to parallel to z would be:
kam = KAM(ebsd(grains(angle(zvector, grains.meanOrientation.*Miller(0,0,0,1,cs)) < 10*degree)))
I hope this helps,
Cheers, Rüdiger
