The DGOrientationOptions object stores values and attributes associated with a material orientation plot. The DGOrientationOptions object has no constructor command. Abaqus creates an odbDisplayOptions.materialOrientationOptions member when a display group instance is created, using values from odbDisplay.materialOrientationOptions.
