Figure 16
An illustration of region growing for identifying reflections with significant contribution to the diffraction. The grey gridlines intersect at integer combinations that are the Miller indices of the reflections in reciprocal space. The Ewald sphere, or diffraction condition more generally, is assumed to be a smooth function and much thinner in one dimension than the others. It is caricaturized with an ellipse sector in black. The algorithm starts at any of the light red or light blue squares. For each blue square that intersects with the diffraction condition at any point, the diffraction condition at the exact Miller index is evaluated. A significant contribution is indicated with a blue dot, an insignificant contribution with a red dot. For each blue square all new neighbours are inspected for intersections in the same manner. Squares that do not intersect the diffraction condition at any point are coloured in light red and do not prompt the inspection of their neighbours.
