Thank you. 10 years after seeing first IPF maps I roughly understand what do they encode: red: flat, green: edge touching view plane at sharpest angle, blue: sharpest corner. To my excuse, I'm a software engineer that came to contact with EBSD just by accident and I sort of wondered if I can extract this from CTF files without storing like 6 image files (phase, 3x IPF, euler, quality, maybe something else). I have to realize it, red color is pretty obvious (if coloring is consistent among different software).
Hey - thanks for the comment. You can take the CTF data and convert it to the IPF colouring - this does depend on the symmetry of the crystal system and the specific IPF colour key you would like to use to represent orientations. These approaches are what the commercial software does internally, and also routines can be found in MTEX (and elsewhere!). You can find a paper exploring this by Gert Nolze and Ralf Hielscher: www.tu-chemnitz.de/mathematik/preprint/2016/PREPRINT_01.pdf
love you
