  • HyperSpy: Python library with tools for multi-dimensional data analysis. kikuchipy extends this library for EBSD analysis.

  • EMsoft: Series of Fortran programs which, among numerous other tasks, can dynamically simulate EBSD, Electron Channeling Pattern (ECP) and Transmission Kikuchi Diffraction (TKD) master patterns.

  • orix: Python library for handling crystal orientation mapping data. kikuchipy depends on this library for all operations with vectors, rotations and crystal symmetry.
