3D INTERACTIVE DATA LANGUAGE POLE FIGURE VISUALIZATION

The Interactive Data Language has been used to produce a software program capable of advanced 3D visualizations of pole figure and ! -2! data. The data can also be used to calculate quantitative properties such as strain level and to minimize the peak-height texture effects in individual ! -2! scans. The collection of the large data sets necessary for the analyses is facilitated by use of a PSD or area detector.
