grains.dic.plot_strain

grains.dic.plot_strain(strain, minval=None, maxval=None, colorbar=True, label='')[source]

Plots a scalar strain field.

Parameters

  • strain (ndarray) – Scalar strain field sampled on an m-by-n grid, given as a 2D numpy array.

  • minval, maxval (float, optional) – Set the color scaling for the image by fixing the values that map to the colormap color limits. If minval is not provided, the limit is determined from the minimum value of the data. Similarly for maxval.

  • colorbar (bool, optional) – If True, a horizontal colorbar is placed below the strain map. The default is True.

  • label (str, optional) – Label describing the strain field. LaTeX code is also accepted, e.g. r’$varepsilon_{yy}$’. If not given, no text is displayed.

Returns

None
