Abstract
A simple algebraic criterion based on reciprocal lattice geometry was established. It allows a straightforward construction of the distribution of intensity peaks on an electron diffraction pattern along layer lines associated with any crystallographic direction. It can be used to determine the fibre texture axis in materials composed of crystals of arbitrary symmetry. The method was applied to the determination of the fibre texture of thin films of PbO.
