-[GrainSizeTools](https://doi.org/10.21105/joss.00863) is a free, open-source, cross-platform script written in [Python](https://www.python.org/) that provides tools for (1) describing and visualizing grain size populations, (2) estimating differential stress for different mineral phases via paleopizometers and (3) apply stereology methods to approximate the actual distribution (3D) of grain size from sections. The script **does not require previous experience with the Python programming language** (see the documentation below and [FAQ](https://github.com/marcoalopez/GrainSizeTools/blob/master/DOCS/FAQ.md)). For users with coding skills, the script is organized in a modular (functional) way facilitating the reuse and code extension.
