Figures_data.xlsx contains the data for line graphs in the following figures on separate labelled sheets:
Figure 2(a)
Figure 2(b)
Figure 4(c)
Figure 6.

Figures_data.xlsx also contains the HR-EBSD GND density data in Figures 3(b) and 3(d), which have been plotted on a log10 colour scale in the published figure.

The EBSD orientation data have been exported as text files (.ctf) directly from Bruker Esprit 2.1 software.

Orientations are described using Bruker EBSD software conventions, described in the paper "Tutorial: Crystal orientations and EBSD — Or which way is up?" by Britton et al.(http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.matchar.2016.04.008).

EBSD data is provided for the following figures:
Figure 3(a)
Figure 3(c)
Figure 4(b), Figure 5(c), Figure 7(c) -- these are all the same dataset
Figure 5(b)
Figure 6 - EBSD maps of these two datsets were not shown, but this is the raw data from which twin fractions were calculated.
