plot_spherical#

EBSDMasterPattern.plot_spherical(energy: Union[int, float, None] = None, return_figure: bool = False, style: str = 'surface', plotter_kwargs: Union[dict] = None, show_kwargs: Union[dict] = None) → pyvista.Plotter[source]#

Plot the master pattern sphere.

This requires the master pattern to be in the stereographic projection and both hemispheres to be present.

Parameters:

energy: Acceleration voltage in kV used to simulate the master pattern to plot. If not given, the highest energy is used.
return_figure: Whether to return the pyvista.Plotter instance for further modification and then plotting. Default is False. If True, the figure is not plotted.
style: Visualization style of the mesh, either "surface" (default), "wireframe" or "points". In general, "surface" is recommended when zoomed out, while "points" is recommended when zoomed in. See pyvista.Plotter.add_mesh() for details.
plotter_kwargs: Dictionary of keyword arguments passed to pyvista.Plotter.
show_kwargs: Dictionary of keyword arguments passed to pyvista.Plotter.show() if return_figure=False.

Returns:

pl: Only returned if return_figure=True.

Notes

Requires pyvista (see the installation guide).
