sample_S2

orix.sampling.sample_S2(resolution: float, method: str = 'spherified_cube_edge', **kwargs) → Vector3d

Return unit vectors that sample S2 with a specific angular resolution.

Parameters:

resolution

Maximum angle between nearest neighbour grid points, in degrees.

method

Sphere meshing method. Options are: "uv", "equal_area", "normalized_cube", "spherified_cube_edge", "spherified_cube_corner", "icosahedral", "hexagonal", "random". The default is "spherified_cube_edge".

**kwargs

Keyword arguments passed to the sampling function. For details see the sampling functions listed below.

Returns:

vec

Vectors that sample the unit sphere.
