Description
             This command converts an Orientation
                   Map into an Image, and loads the Image into
             the map's Microstructure.  This is useful if you'd like to use
             color-dependent pixel selection tools on the data in the map.
             Those tools only work on Images.
           
      
             The microstructure parameter specifies which
             Orientation Map to convert.  Microstructures can
             contain only one Orientation Map, so
             specifying the Microstructure name is sufficient.
           
      
             The imagename parameter holds the name that will
             be assigned to the new Image.  If the name is not unique,
             <x> will be appended to it, where
             x is a suitable integer.
           
      
             The colorscheme parameter governs how
             orientations in the map will be converted to pixels in the
             Image.  If most of the orientations in the
             Orientation Map are similar, the resulting
             Image will have very low contrast.  It may be useful to use
             image modification tools, especially OOF.Image.Modify.Equalize, to enhance the
             contrast.
           
      
             This command is only available if OOF2 was built with the
             --enable-orientationmap option.
