MiKTeX Package Information

datatool

Tools to load and manipulate data

The bundle provides five packages: – datatool.sty: databases may be created using LaTeX commands or by importing external files; they may be sorted numerically or alphabetically; repetitive operations (such as mail merging) may be performed on each row of a database, subject to conditions to exclude particular rows; commands are provided to examine database elements, and to convert formats (for example, to convert a numeric element to a format compatible with the fp package; – datapie.sty: a database may be represented as a pie chart; flexible options allow colouring of the chart, and annotation hooks are available; – dataplot.sty: a database may be represented as a 2-dimensional scatter or line plot; flexible options control of the plot's overall appearance, and of legends and other extra information; – databar.sty: a database may be represented as a bar chart; overall appearance, colouring and annotation are controllable; – databib.sty: a bibliography may be loaded into a datatool database, and manipulated there before being printed (this permits a LaTeX-based route to printing bibliographies in formats for which no BibTeX style is available). The bundle replaces and supersedes the author’s csvtools bundle.
