The Pole Figure tool is launched from EWALD with selected data context.

Launching

• Open from main workflow action/button with an ROI selected.
• A separate window receives ROI, q<sub>xy</sub>, and q<sub>z</sub> context.

hkl labels

• Enter h, k, l, optional label text, and display name.

Background subtraction modes

• No subtraction
• Constant background
• Local annular/neighbor subtraction
• ROI-based background
• Polynomial baseline

Exporting pole figures

• Export CSV and PNG outputs from the generator window.
• Metadata can be saved with output and reloaded via project history where supported.

Linking to ROI metadata

• Generated output and status are stored in ROI-linked metadata.
• Stale detection marks outputs as outdated when ROI geometry changes.

Stale workflow state

• ROI edits can invalidate prior pole figures.
• Re-run to refresh stale status.
