The texture plugin is used for Pole Figure analysis and Orientation distribution functions (ODF). However we do not have a license for ODF. To enable Orientation functions to be calculated 2 or more pole figures are needed. The texture plugin has two types of calculations, a Defocusing project and texture calculation. The defocusing project will not be discussed here, as it is not strictly needed for the texture calculation, however the idea with this is to measure on substrate with randomly distributed crystals and subtract this from the oriented texture data.

A texture calculation processed as follows:

*Load data:

**Choose one or more pole figure data sets to load.

*Load defocusing project:

**This is only possible if a randomly oriented sample has been measured.

*Configure sample:

**Set the material and the reflections that have been measured.

**Extra reflections and materials can be added by the add reflection and add phase tools.

**Also connect the reflections to the correct pole figures.

**When all materials and reflection is set, press Estimate 2θB, to calculate the 2θ angles.

*Make pole figure corrections:

**Activate and change the settings of the preferred corrections in the right panel.

**Apply the corrections

**To read out the result, click on orientation function at the lower pane.
