Pole Figure Explorer v. 1.8
- Sandia National Laboratories
This software is employed for 3D visualization of X-ray diffraction (XRD) data with functionality for slicing, reorienting, isolating and plotting of 2D color contour maps and 3D renderings of large datasets. The program makes use of the multidimensionality of textured XRD data where diffracted intensity is not constant over a given set of angular positions (as dictated by the three defined dimensional angles of phi, chi, and two-theta). Datasets are rendered in 3D with intensity as a scaler which is represented as a rainbow color scale. A GUI interface and scrolling tools along with interactive function via the mouse allow for fast manipulation of these large datasets so as to perform detailed analysis of diffraction results with full dimensionality of the diffraction space.
