Read and plot electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) data

I look for more contributors, see below

Features:

• File formats accepted .ang | .osc | .crc | .txt
• can write .ang for FCC. Others could be added
• fast plotting interaction using virtual mask (only used for plotting)
  • increases speed in intermediate test plots
  • even though some interpolation and reading takes time
  • can be removed just before final plotting
• verified with the OIM software and mTex
• heavily tested for cubic
• separate crystal orientation and plotting of it
• some educational plotting
• examples and lots of docummentation via Doxygen
• doctest verifies functionality
• introduce Kernel average misorientation

Documentation

Documentation on github pages

What features I do not envision:

• include all crystal symmetries (materials science can mostly live with few)
• other Euler angle definitions than Bunge; materials science does not use those

Future features

• improve cleaning
• grain identification methods
• speed up simulation
• add different symmetries than cubic, and test

Help wanted

• sample files other than copper OIM files
• feedback on tutorials
• any feedback on functionality
• help with cleaning and grain identification

Get and build docummentation

Clone data from github

git clone https://github.com/SteffenBrinckmann/pythonEBSD.git

Build documentation and tutorials

python verifyAll.py

then open docs/index.html in webbrowser
