Since the beginning of the nineties, the automation of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) has completely revolutionized texture analysis carried out on rocks and man-made materials. Among the most striking advances, not only does EBSD allow a relatively rapid and straightforward bulk texture analysis, but it also allows the grain-by-grain determination of crystallographic orientations.
