orix is an open-source Python library for analysing orientations and crystal symmetry.
The package defines objects and functions for the analysis of orientations represented
as quaternions and 3D rotation vectors, accounting for crystal symmetry.
Functionality builds primarily on NumPy <https://www.numpy.org>_ and Matplotlib <https://matplotlib.org>.
Initiation of the package was inspired by MTEX <https://mtex-toolbox.github.io>.
orix is released under the GPL v3 license.
