Description:

Base class to store an orientation distribution function (ODF). ...

Base class to store an orientation distribution function (ODF).

An orientation distribution function is a probability distribution that details how much volume of material has a specific orientation. An ODF is computed from pole figure data in a computational process called pole figure inversion.

Symbols:

n_varphi_one: Number of pixel per varphi section plot along the \(\varphi_1\) fastest direction.

n_capital_phi: Number of pixel per varphi section plot along the \(\Phi\) fast direction.

n_varphi_two: Number of pixel per varphi section plot along the \(\varphi_2\) slow direction.

k: Number of local maxima evaluated in the component analysis.

n_pos: Number of sampled positions in orientation space.

Visualization of the ODF intensity as discretized orthogonal sections through orientation space parameterized using Bunge-Euler angles.

This is one example of typical default plots used in the texture community in materials engineering.

Mind that when parameterized using Euler angles the orientation space is a distorted space. Therefore, equivalent orientations show intensity contributions in eventually multiple locations.
