PXO stands for Poly-XTAL Operations. It is an open-source, MATLAB codebase for generating, analyzing and exporting complex space partitions such as multi-phase metallic grain structures. Poly-XTAL operations is named after the various operations which lead to its functionalities relating to poly-crystalline structures. It is useful for mathematicians, statistical mechanists, material scientists and computational geologiests. Read the MOTIVATION for developing PXO, along with a set of VALIDATION results, current LIMITATIONS of PXO, Tutorials and Test Cases which you can try out while learning to use. The paper can be found here In case you use MTEX and would like to expand your research scope by being able to generate your own custom grain structures and crystallographic textures, you can use PXO to do so. Please use the DISCUSSION page to as questions/clarifications, put forth your ideas, feature requests, documentation requests and bug/issue reports.
