load ebsd data from file
Description
EBSD.load is a high level method for importing EBSD data from files. If possible it autodetects the format of the file. Supported formats are listed here . Additionally, EBSD data can be read from column aligned text file or excel spread sheets. In those cases it is necessary to tell MTEX the column positions of the spatial coordinates, the phase information as well as Euler angles.
Syntax
ebsd = EBSD . load ( 'filename.ang' )
ebsd = EBSD . load ( 'filename.ctf' )
ebsd = EBSD . load ( 'filename.osc' )
ebsd = EBSD . load ( 'filename.hf5' )
csList = { 'notIndexed' , ...
CS = { 'notIndexed' , ...
crystalSymmetry ( 'm-3m' , 'mineral' , 'Fe' ), ...
crystalSymmetry ( 'm-3m' , 'mineral' , 'Mg' )};
ebsd = EBSD . load ( fname , 'cs' , cs , 'ColumnNames' ,{ 'x' , 'y' , 'Euler1' , 'Euler2' , 'Euler3' , 'phase' })

Example
fname = fullfile ( mtexDataPath , 'EBSD' , '85_829grad_07_09_06.txt' );
CS = { 'notIndexed' , ...
