LaTeX Bundle : datatool v2.13
Last Modified : 2013-01-15
Author : Nicola Talbot
This bundle consists of the packages: datatool.sty,
datatool-base.sty, datatool-fp.sty, datatool-pgfmath.sty,
databar.sty, databib.sty, datapie.sty dataplot.sty,
person.sty.
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.
datatool-base.sty:
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 or pgfmath packages 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.
datatool-fp.sty:
Provides an interface with fp.sty
datatool-pgfmath.sty:
Provides an interface with pgfmath.sty
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.
person.sty:

order of service style document to provide consistency, or in mail
merging to eliminate the cumbersome use of ``he/she'' etc.
