Details

Base class: DisplayMethod
Parameters:

colorscheme

Method for converting angles to colors. Type: An object of the Angle2Color class.

no_material

Color to use for pixels with no assigned Material Type: An object of the Color class.

no_orientation

Color to use for pixels with no Orientation Property Type: An object of the Color class.

Description

The OrientationDisplay draws each pixel in a Microstructure, colored according to the crystalline orientation. of the Material assigned to the pixel. The orientation comes from the Material's Orientation or OrientationMap Property, whichever is present.

Technically, it's a mistake for a Material to have both an Orientation and an OrientationMap Property. However, this error isn't always detected when a Microstructure is displayed. If both Properties are present, whichever Property was added to the Material first will be displayed.

The colorscheme parameter describes how the orientation angles are to be converted to colors for the display.

If the assigned Material has no Orientation Property, then the Color given by no_orientation is used. If the pixel doesn't have a Material, then the no_material Color is used.

To display an Orientation Map before it's used in a Material and Property, see OrientationMapDisplay.
