TEXCAM is an interactive program designed for IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible personal computers. It constructs schematic simulations which represent diffraction patterns produced by the texture camera. The program can be used to produce patterns from samples which are both polycrystalline and epitaxic in nature. Patterns from polycrystalline samples containing uniaxial texture may also be calculated. An installation program facilitates scaling of the on-screen image allowing texture camera films to be directly superimposed upon the simulation.
