Parameters:
microstructure- Convert the Orientation Map in this Microstructure Type: The path to an existing
Microstructureobject. imagename- Name to give to the new Image. Type: A character string not containing ':', or the variable
automatic. colorscheme- How to convert angles to colors. Type: An object of the
Angle2Colorclass.
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.
