shortdesc Tools to load and manipulate data.
relocated 1
longdesc The tools comprise six packages: datatool.sty: databases may be
longdesc created using LaTeX commands or by importing external files;
longdesc they may be sorted numerically or alphabetically; repetitive
longdesc operations (such as mail merging) may be performed on each row
longdesc of a database, subject to conditions to exclude particular
longdesc rows; commands are provided to examine database elements, and
longdesc to convert formats (for example, to convert a numeric element
longdesc to a format compatible with the fp package; datapie.sty: a
longdesc database may be represented as a pie chart; flexible options
longdesc allow colouring of the chart, and annotation hooks are
longdesc available; dataplot.sty: a database may be represented as a 2-
longdesc dimensional scatter or line plot; flexible options control of
longdesc the plot's overall appearance, and of legends and other extra
longdesc information; databar.sty: a database may be represented as a
longdesc bar chart; overall appearance, colouring and annotation are
longdesc controllable; datagidx.sty: provides a way of indexing or
longdesc creating glossaries/lists of acronyms that uses TeX to do the
longdesc sorting and collating instead of using an external indexing
longdesc application, such as xindy or makeindex; databib.sty: a
longdesc bibliography may be loaded into a datatool database, and
longdesc manipulated there before being printed (this permits a LaTeX-
longdesc based route to printing bibliographies in formats for which no
longdesc BibTeX style is available); and person.sty: provides support
longdesc for displaying a person's name and pronoun in a document, thus
longdesc avoiding cumbersome use of "he/she", etc. The drawing packages
longdesc make use of PGF/TikZ for their output. The bundle supersedes
longdesc and replaces the author's csvtools bundle.
