10.19. Compute IPF Colors

Group (Subgroup)

Processing (Crystallography)

Description

This Filter will generate inverse pole figure (IPF) colors. The user can enter the Reference Direction, which defaults to [001]. The Filter also has the option to apply a black color to all “bad” Elements, as defined by a boolean mask array, which can be generated using the Threshold Objects Filter or any other filter that generates a “mask” of the data and outputs either a bool or uint8 array.

Originating Data Notes

  • TSL (.ang file)

    • If the data originates from a TSL .ang file, then Elements that the TSL software could not reliably identify the Euler angles for will have a “Fit of Solution” = 180 and/or an “Image Quality” = 0.0.

    • This means that when the user runs some sort of threshold Filter the mask will be those Elements that have an Image Quality > 0 and/or Fit < 180.0

  • HKL (.ctf file)

    • If the data originates from an HKL (or Bruker) system (.ctf file) then unindexed voxels can typically be found by setting “Error” > 0

    • This means that when the user runs some sort of threshold Filter the mask will be those Elements that have an Error = 0

IPF Legends

IPF Legends for most all of the Laue classes can be found in the Data/OrientationAnalysis folder that comes with DREAM3D-NX distributions. They are very high resolution images and you are free to use them in any published work.
