+
+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.
+

+dtx and ins file located in texmf/source.
