It can be seen most of the Pole figures and Inverse pole figures obtained from EBSD have projections in [001] [101] [111] direction
These [001], [011], and [111] are the three directions in crystal reference system. These directions are not only conventional that is accepted globally but also cubic materials possess 4-fold, 2-fold, and 3-fold symmetry in these three directions, respectively. For cubic materials, under a rolling deformation, the three directions in sample reference system are rolling direction (RD), transverse direction (TD), and normal direction (ND). The pole figure shows the crystallographic orientations in sample reference system, whereas, inverse pole figure displays the same in crystal reference system. An inverse pole figure is nothing but 1 of the 24 parts (of a pole figure) showing identical crystals.
If you really want to know about texture read some books, e.g. Engler Randle, Prof. Satyam Suwas's books.
