Status:

base class, extends NXprocess

Description:

Base class to report on the characterization of an area or volume of material. ...

Base class to report on the characterization of an area or volume of material.

This area or volume of material is considered a region-of-interest (ROI).

This base class should be used when the characterization was achieved by processing data from experiment or computer simulations into models of the microstructure of the material and the properties of the material or its crystal defects within this ROI. Microstructural features is a narrow synonym for these crystal defects.

This base class can also be used to store data and metadata of the representation of the ROI, i.e. its discretization and shape.

Methods from computational geometry are typically used for defining a discretization of the area and volume.

Do not confuse this base class with NXregion. The purpose of the NXregion base class is to document data access i.e. I/O pattern on arrays. Therefore, concepts from NXregion operate in data space rather than in real or simulated real space.
