are identical according to Eq. (7.14) with the first and third
column vectors of the rotation matrix g. The second column is given accord-
ing to Eq. (7.14) by the cross product (z x a). This completely determines
the rotation matrix.
This procedure can be applied to any pole figure {hkl} by associating the
vectors a, b and so on with the respective poles {hkl} and by determining
the dot products of these vectors with x and z according to Eq. (7.25). Of
course, especially simple is the calculation of the orientation from the {100}
pole figure, since the {100} poles represent the projection of the base vectors
of the crystal coordinate system. In this case we obtain

The Miller indices and the rotation matrix follow in analogy to the example
of the {111} pole figure given above.
Conversely, if the position of a pole in the stereographic projection is to be
determined from a known rotation matrix, this is most conveniently obtained
in terms of the angles α
i
(tilt angle with regard to the rolling plane normal)
and β
i
(rotation in the rolling plane) as depicted in Fig. 7.4. These angles are
related to the vectors of the lattice plane normals N

When it is possible to evaluate pole figures according to the methods given
above, it is very convenient to utilize tables in which the Miller indices (lim-
ited to values of 15 or less) are listed for all possible angles between related
lattice plane normals and specimen directions [568].
