-

-datatool.sty:

-

- Databases can be created using LaTeX commands or loaded

- from external ASCII files, such as comma or tab separated

- variable files.

-

- Databases can be sorted numerically or alphabetically

- (descending or ascending.)

-

- Repetitive operations can be performed on each row of

- data in a database (such as mail merging.) Conditions

- can be imposed to exclude rows.

-

- Commands are provided to determine if an argument is

- an integer, a real number, currency or a string.

- (Scientific notation is currently not supported.)

-

- Locale dependent number settings are supported 

- (such as a comma as a decimal character and full stop as 

- a number group character.)

-

- Commands are provided to convert between locale dependent

- numbers/currency and the standard decimal format required 

- by the fp package enabling fixed point arithmetic to be 

- performed on elements of the database.

-

- Strings can be tested to determine if they are all upper

- or all lower case.

-

- Names can be converted to initials using \DTLinitials.

-

-datapie.sty:

-

- A database defined by datatool.sty can be converted into a 

- pie chart.

-

- Segments can be separated from the rest of the chart to make

- them stand out.

-

- Colour/grey scale options.

-

- Predefined segment colours can be changed.

-

- Hooks provided to annotate chart.

-

-dataplot.sty:

-

- A database defined by datatool.sty may be plotted as a 2D

- scatter or line plot

-

- Settings provided to govern the appearance of the chart.

- (e.g. show/hide axes, legend, grid, major/minor tick marks.)

-

- Hooks provided to add extra information to the plot

-

-databar.sty:

-

- A database defined by datatool.sty can be converted into a 

- bar chart.

-

- Colour/grey scale options.

-

- Predefined bar colours can be changed.

-

- Horizontal or vertical formats provided.

-

- Hooks provided to annotate chart.

-

-databib.sty:

-

- Provides commands to convert a BibTeX database into a datatool

- database.

-

-*The datatool bundle replaces the csvtools bundle which is now obsolete.*

-

-REQUIRED PACKAGES:

-

-The datatool.sty package requires the following packages/files:

-

-xkeyval

-ifthen

-xfor

-fp

-substr

-etex

-

-The datapie.sty, dataplot.sty and databar.sty packages 

-additionally require the tikz/pgf bundle.

-

-*Remember to refresh TeX's database*

-

-The package and documentation source code is also supplied as a

-dtx and ins file located in texmf/source.
