The tools comprise six packages 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 database may be represented as a pie chart; flexible options allow colouring of the chart, and annotation hooks are available; dataplot.sty dimensional scatter or line plot; flexible options control of the plot’s overall appearance, and of legends and other extra information; databar.sty bar chart; overall appearance, colouring and annotation are controllable; datagidx.sty creating glossaries/lists of acronyms that uses TeX to do the sorting and collating instead of using an external indexing application, such as xindy or makeindex; databib.sty 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); and person.sty 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.
