Histograms detailing differences in (a) the total number of cross-grain and in-grain twin-to-twin contacts that each twin forms and (b) longest twin path lengths, for the combined data of each twin in all 3D twin network reconstructions (orange, left column, 2173 total twins) compared to the combined data for all twins in all 2D slices along the serial-sectioning (Z) axis of the 3D cubes (green, middle column, 26,907 total twins) and large-area 2D twin network reconstructions (purple, right column, 11,536 total twins). The median number of twin-to-twin contacts is 2 in the 3D reconstructions and 1 in both the 2D slices of the 3D cubes and in the large-area 2D reconstructions. The median longest path of twin contacts is 12 in the 3D reconstructions, 3 in the 2D slices of the 3D Cubes, and 2 in the large-area 2D reconstructions.
