plot

CrystalMap.plot(value: ndarray | str | None = None, overlay: str | ndarray | None = None, scalebar: bool = True, scalebar_properties: dict | None = None, legend: bool = True, legend_properties: dict | None = None, colorbar: bool = False, colorbar_label: str | None = None, colorbar_properties: dict | None = None, remove_padding: bool = False, return_figure: bool = False, figure_kwargs: dict | None = None, **kwargs) → Figure

Plot a 2D map with any crystallographic map property as map values.

Wraps matplotlib.axes.Axes.imshow(): see that method for relevant keyword arguments.

Parameters:

value

An array or an attribute string to plot. If not given, a phase map is plotted.

overlay

Name of map property or a property array to use in the alpha (RGBA) channel. The property range is adjusted for maximum contrast. Not used if not given.

scalebar

Whether to add a scalebar (default is True) along the horizontal map dimension.

scalebar_properties

Keyword arguments passed to matplotlib_scalebar.scalebar.ScaleBar.

legend

Whether to add a legend to the plot. This is only implemented for a phase plot (in which case default is True).

legend_properties

Keyword arguments passed to matplotlib.axes.Axes.legend().

colorbar

Whether to add an opinionated colorbar (default is False).

colorbar_label

Label of colorbar.

colorbar_properties

Keyword arguments passed to orix.plot.CrystalMapPlot.add_colorbar().

remove_padding

Whether to remove white padding around figure (default is False).

return_figure

Whether to return the figure (default is False).

figure_kwargs

Keyword arguments passed to matplotlib.pyplot.subplots().

**kwargs

Keyword arguments passed to matplotlib.axes.Axes.imshow().

Returns:

fig

The created figure, returned if return_figure=True.

Examples

>>> from orix import data
>>> xmap = data.sdss_ferrite_austenite(allow_download=True)
>>> xmap
Phase   Orientations       Name  Space group  Point group  Proper point group       Color
    1   5657 (48.4%)  austenite         None          432                 432    tab:blue
    2   6043 (51.6%)    ferrite         None          432                 432  tab:orange
Properties: iq, dp
Scan unit: um

Plot phase map

>>> xmap.plot()

Remove padding and return the figure (e.g. to be saved)

>>> fig = xmap.plot(remove_padding=True, return_figure=True)

Plot a dot product (similarity score) map

>>> xmap.plot("dp", colorbar=True, colorbar_label="Dot product", cmap="gray")
