METIS - a multimedia learning environment consisting of simulations with free adjustable parameters is developed at the Institute of Physical Metallurgy and Metal Physics (UVB4) and available on the world wide web (WWW) [1]. With this software students can carry out parameter studies on their own, and the understanding of the complex phenomena in materials science is facilitated. The objective of the learning software METIS is to improve materials science studies. The software is not planned to replace the traditional university education but it is intended to be an additional tool for helping the students to get a deeper understanding of materials science. Besides other topics one focus of the learning software is the subject of visualization and analysis of pole figures and textures. To familiarize the students within the field of textures the leaming software METIS provides simulation applets with the possibility to plot different orientations in a stereographic projection and in Euler space. Both simulations offer different tools of interaction e.g. it is possible to rotate the orientations around any crystallographic axis or a sample reference axis (RD, TD, ND). Simultaneously, a respectively rotating cube is shown which helps the students to visualize the orientation in the sample. The learning tool METIS demonstrates the connection of the various representations of orientations and in this way facilitates the understanding of pole figures and Euler space.
