Hey guys, 

I have some EBSD data of five quartz porphyroclasts from which I want to extract CPO information and view it as dots in pole figures with one point per grain. I've been using the following code:

%%%% Create list of pole figures - Quartz      

%**************************************************************************

% Classically in MTEX you cannot mix hkls and uvws

% pole to planes can be specified by the option 'pole' or 'hkl' 

% directions are specified by the option 'uvw' 

%

PFs_Plag_hkil = [ ...

    Miller(0,0,0,1,ebsd('Quartz').CS,'hkil'),...

    Miller(1,0,-1,0,ebsd('Quartz').CS,'hkil'),...

    Miller(1,0,-1,1,ebsd('Quartz').CS,'hkil'),...

    Miller(0,1,-1,1,ebsd('Quartz').CS,'hkil'),...

    ]

PFs_Plag_uvtw = [ ...

    Miller(-1,2,-1,0,ebsd('Quartz').CS,'uvtw'),...

    ]

 

%%

 

%plot the discrete pole figure 

figure

plotPDF(ebsd('Quartz').orientations,PFs_Plag_hkil,'noSymmetry',all,'antipodal','MarkerFaceColor','black','markersize',2); 


However, this code gives me all indexed points from the EBSD data and the pole figures show thousands of points. Does anyone know how to calculate the pole figure as dots using one point per grain? 


Cheers, 

Rhander.

Hi Altoe

One way is to calculate grains first, than plot the meanOrientation of those grains, check here


Hope this helps

Cheers

Luiz

Oi Luiz, 

Thanks for the hint. After calculating the grains (calcGrains) and removing small pixels, I successfully generated the pole figures as you suggested (meanOrientation) using the grain variable:

plotPDF(grains('Quartz').MeanOrientation,PFs_Plag_hkil,'noSymmetry',antipodal','MarkerFaceColor','black','markersize',2);


Now the pole figures show the orientation of the five quartz porphyroclasts as one point per grain (dots).


Abraço, 

Rhander.

Que bom que funcionou :-)


abraco
