print/tex-datatool - The NetBSD Packages Collection

The tools comprise the packages: datatool-base.sty: the
underlying base package used by all the other packages in this
bundle; 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 l3fp or 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;
datagidx.sty: provides a way of indexing or creating
glossaries/lists of abbreviations that uses TeX to do the
sorting and collating instead of using an external indexing
application, such as xindy or makeindex (although you may
prefer \printnoidxglossary now provided by the glossaries
package); 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, although
biblatex is now the better route); and person.sty: provides
support for displaying a person's name and pronoun in a
document, thus avoiding cumbersome use of "he/she", etc. The
drawing packages make use of PGF/TikZ for their output.
Localisation support needs to be installed separately. See
datatool-regions and datatool-english. The bundle supersedes
and replaces the author's csvtools bundle.
