Summary : Tools to load and manipulate data
Description :
The tools comprise six packages: datatool.sty: databases may be
created using LaTeX commands or by importing external files;
they may be sorted numerically or alphabetically; repetitive
operations (such as mail merging) may be performed on each row
of a database, subject to conditions to exclude particular
rows; commands are provided to examine database elements, and
to convert formats (for example, to convert a numeric element
to a format compatible with the fp package; datapie.sty: a
database may be represented as a pie chart; flexible options
allow colouring of the chart, and annotation hooks are
available; dataplot.sty: a database may be represented as a
2-dimensional scatter or line plot; flexible options control of
the plot's overall appearance, and of legends and other extra
information; databar.sty: a database may be represented as a
bar chart; overall appearance, colouring and annotation are
controllable; datagidx.sty: provides a way of indexing or
creating glossaries/lists of acronyms that uses TeX to do the
sorting and collating instead of using an external indexing
application, such as xindy or makeindex; databib.sty: a
bibliography may be loaded into a datatool database, and
manipulated there before being printed (this permits a
LaTeX-based route to printing bibliographies in formats for
which no BibTeX style is available); and person.sty: provides
support for displaying a person's name and pronoun in a
document, thus avoiding cumbersome use of "he/she", etc. The
drawing packages make use of PGF/TikZ for their output. The
bundle supersedes and replaces the author's csvtools bundle.
