   * [[software:xfab|xfab]]: a python library with crystallographic computations
-  * Fable: huge graphical interface, that supposedly includes everything. Sometimes it works, most of the time, it does not (anymore)
   * [[software:TIMEleSSTools|Specific TIMEleSS tools]]: a collection of scripts from the TIMEleSS projects, for both pre- and post-processing
+  * [[Software:MTeX|MTeX]] : to plot grain orientations
 Details on each piece of software and when to use them can be seen in the [[processing:start|Multigrain data processing workflow]] page.
