matflow.param_classes.orientations.UnitCellAlignment

class matflow.param_classes.orientations.UnitCellAlignment(x=None, y=None, z=None)

Bases: ParameterValue

A description of the alignment of a unit cell.

Parameters:

• x (str | LatticeDirection) – The direction of the X component.

• y (str | LatticeDirection) – The direction of the Y component.

• z (str | LatticeDirection) – The direction of the Z component.

Methods

dump_to_HDF5_group	Write this parameter value to an HDF5 group.
from_hex_convention_DAMASK	Generate a unit cell alignment from Damask's default convention for hexagonal symmetry.
from_hex_convention_MTEX	Generate a unit cell alignment from MTEX's default convention for hexagonal symmetry.
prepare_JSON_dump	Prepare this parameter value for serialisation as JSON.
save_from_HDF5_group	Extract a parameter value from an HDF5 group.
save_from_JSON	Extract a parameter value from JSON data.
to_dict	Serialise this parameter value as a dictionary.

Attributes

x	The direction of the X component.
y	The direction of the Y component.
