Using AZtecCrystal, our EBSD software, learn how to plot and configure Pole Figures, Inverse Pole Figures and ODFs, plus plotting texture component maps.
Please provide links to basics of crystallography, indices, pole figures, textures etc. to interpret EBSD patterns for Ti , Fe alloys and Ni base superalloys.
Hi Mohan, David, There are some useful sections on our www.ebsd.com website that provide some background information about these concepts, including the basics of crystallography (www.ebsd.com/ebsd-explained/basic-concepts-of-crystallography) and ways to present texture measurements from EBSD data (www.ebsd.com/ebsd-techniques/displaying-ebsd-data#texture). We hope to add more background information regarding pole figures in due course, so make sure that you do return back to the site from time to time. Best regards, Oxford Instruments
The default in AZtecCrystal is to plot 1 point for every measured orientation, however, you can create a subset from the grain list that includes 1 representative point per grain, and plot these in the pole figures instead. Best wishes, Oxford Instruments.

I am still struggling how to analyse my pole figures and I don't know how much literature I have went through

Is the default in Aztec for pole figures, 1 point per grain? Or is it 1 point per pixel? And how do we define this in the settings?

Is AZtecCrytal ODF available in the basic module?
Hi Sarvesh,
Yes, the AZtecCrystal ODF module is now sold as standard with the basic software package.
