Question about hexagonal crystal axes alignment

[hakonanes]

Hi @marcdegraef (and others),

are hexagonal master patterns in EMsoft simulated with the a axis east and the c* axis out of plane?

I'm asking because I'm toying with kinematical simulations in kikuchipy (docs), where we align e1 || a and e3 || c*, which I believe is used throughout EMsoft for stereographic projections. However, I end up with the strongest reflections being rotated 30 degrees compared to EMsoft, i.e., it looks like e1 || a*:

Band simulation in kikuchipy (a = red, b = green, c = blue):

Dynamical simulations in EMsoft with the same phase:

Is the assumption that the alignments are the same wrong? If not, the difference might come from a wrong reflector list in kikuchipy (and/or the non-realistic kinematical intensities).
