Misorientations at grain boundaries of "flat" orientation images

Using NIH Image and the "Lazy azi inc & flat" macro, the azi and inc images, and the grain boundary map are used to create azi and inc images where each grain on the grain boundary map is assigned the average azimuth or average inclination of that grain. From these "flat" azi and inc images "flat"COIs and orientation gradient images can be calculated. The orientation gradient images show sharp grain boundaries of one pixel width., the slope of the gradient is really the angular difference between the grains.
