# The datax package
A LaTeX package to insert data from a script in a document. Interacting plugins available at [Github, Datax-package](https://github.com/Datax-package).

## Example usage
Julia script:
```julia
using LaTeXDatax, Unitful
a = 25u"m"
b = 13
c = "Literal string"
@datax a b c
```

LaTeX document
```tex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{datax}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\begin{document}
The calculated length was \(a=\datax{a}\).
\end{document}
```

## Supported languages

Language | Repo | Maintainer
----- | ----- | -----
Julia | [LaTeXDatax.jl](https://github.com/Datax-package/LaTeXDatax.jl) | David Gustavsson
MATLAB | [LaTeXDatax.m](https://github.com/Datax-package/Datax.m) | David Gustavsson
Python | [LaTeXDatax.py](https://github.com/Datax-package/LaTeXDatax.py) | David Gustavsson

If your language isn't listed above, check [the super-repo](https://github.com/Datax-package).
Extending it to your language of choice should be fairly simple, just make it so your script can write `\pgfkeyssetvalue{/datax/<tag>}{<value>}` to a file.
If you end up writing a plugin for a language, or if you want to request one, please make a feature request or send me an e-mail.
