Only half of the cylindrical sample is shown to better visualise the inner structures surrounding the core. For a better visual interpretation, streamlines calculated based on the Runge-Kutta method are used (tool provided by the Paraview Guide50). Note, that those streamlines do not represent single fibres but a dominant material orientation. The three-dimensional fibre orientations pi in (a) are colour-coded according to the colour sphere, which maps the absolute values of the orientation vector coordinates ∣x, y, z∣ to the RGB colour components. The colours in (b) and (c) represent the Mean Scattering MS ∈ [0, 1] and the Fractional Anisotropy FA ∈ [0, 1] signals, respectively.
