This work presents a newly developed “Texture” software suite for quantitative analysis of the preferred orientation of crystallites in metals and alloys by diffraction techniques. A description of the theoretical foundations of texture analysis and its instrumental implementation is provided. The software functionalities are illustrated, which are used to construct, model, and analyze direct and inverse pole figures, as well as calculate the orientation distribution function by the ADC method and reconstruct pole figures. The results of a comparative study of the complete pole figures constructed based on experimental diffraction data and those calculated based on the orientation distribution function, which has been computed from a series of incomplete unnormalized pole figures, are presented.
