Abstract
HRTex is a new texture data processing tool for two-dimensional position-sensitive area detectors on monochromatic neutron diffractometers. With the aim of improving the resolution and accuracy of pole figure calculations, HRTex treats the raw data of the area detector for each pixel and projects the intensity of each pixel directly onto a high-resolution pole figure. With the resultant refinement of the resolution, HRTex can distinguish close texture peaks with a flexible resolution setting and reduced information loss. Test results of HRTex on the data sets of two samples measured by two different neutron facilities are analysed, and the improvements in accuracy, resolution and efficiency of the pole figure calculation are discussed. © 2022 International Union of Crystallography
