requesting tugboat articles

[Mike Marchywka]

Thanks, at least one of those talks about a JAVA GUI to prepare input :)
I'm amazed at what you can do just writing in version of TeX but I like
c++ for data structures and familiarity. I guess instead of generating LaTex
from c++ I could learn how to do more in TeX programming
but then it is tied to TeX . Some of 
the charting Nicola describes  may be done in R although
not sure what the issues are. I have written my own svg generators
in c++ although I could get same result from R but I am just
used to c++ instead of R.

Hi Mike -

    make Tex tables from csv files.

The most complete package I know of in this area is Nicola Talbot's
datatool. It's for LaTeX. https://ctan.org/pkg/datatool

In general, Nicola has created a number of packages that solve
nontrivial problems in approximately complete ways, e.g., texlocale,
texosquery, bib2gls. https://ctan.org/author/talbot

FWIW ... --best, karl.
