Plotting using Different Units

Sometimes you might want to plot using different units, such as pixel coordinates, or mrad or nm^-1. Pyxem makes it easy to plot using different units. This does require certain calibration information to be set, such as the beam energy and the pixel size.

from pyxem.data import fe_multi_phase_grains

multi_phase = fe_multi_phase_grains()

multi_phase.calibration.beam_energy = 200  # Set the beam energy to 200 keV
multi_phase.calibration.physical_pixel_size = 15e-6  # Set the pixel size to 15 um
multi_phase.calibration.units = "nm^-1"  # Set the units to nm^-1
multi_phase.calibration.scale = 0.1  # Set the scale to 0.1 nm^-1
