ebsd_master_pattern#

kikuchipy.data.ebsd_master_pattern(phase: str, allow_download: bool = False, show_progressbar: Optional[bool] = None, **kwargs) → EBSDMasterPattern[source]#

EBSD master pattern of an available phase of (1001, 1001) pixel resolution in both the square Lambert or stereographic projection.

Master patterns were simulated with EMsoft [Callahan and De Graef, 2013].

Parameters:

phase: Name of available phase. Options are (see Notes for details): ni, al, si, austenite, ferrite, steel_chi, steel_sigma.
allow_download: Whether to allow downloading the dataset from the internet to the local cache with the pooch Python package. Default is False.
show_progressbar: Whether to show a progressbar when downloading. If not given, the value of hyperspy.api.preferences.General.show_progressbar is used.
**kwargs: Keyword arguments passed to load().

Returns:

ebsd_master_pattern_signal: EBSD master pattern signal.

Examples

Import master pattern in the stereographic projection

>>> import kikuchipy as kp
>>> s = kp.data.ebsd_master_pattern("ni", hemisphere="both")  
>>> s  
<EBSDMasterPattern, title: ni_mc_mp_20kv, dimensions: (16, 2|1001, 1001)>
>>> s.projection
