spatialProfile edit page

select EBSD data along line segments

Syntax

ebsdLine = spatialProfile(ebsd,[xStart,xEnd],[yStart yEnd])
[ebsdLine,dist] = spatialProfile(ebsd,x,y)
xy = ginput(2)
[ebsdLine,dist] = spatialProfile(ebsd,xy)

Input

ebsd EBSD
xStart, xEnd, yStart, yEnd double
x, y coordinates of the line segments
xy list of spatial coordinates |[x(:) y(:)]|

Output

ebsdLine EBSD restrcited to the line of interest
dist double distance along the line to the initial point

Example
