Abstract
A new library program which allows the calculation and storage of the numerical tables necessary for a three-dimensional texture analysis is proposed. Its main characteristics are:–possibility of selecting the values to be stored according to the desired microscopic and macroscopic symmetries as well as to the step of exploration of the pole figures;–possibility of choosing the quantity of information to be stored for obtaining, in the further three-dimensional analysis, a good agreement between the computing time and the memory space; and–great precision of the stored values and short time of calculation due to the use of new and optimized aigorithms.
