% This file provides a high-level table manipulation and typesetting
% package.
%
%
% ---------------------------------------------
%  Implementation notes for programmers:
% ---------------------------------------------
%
%  The table data structure consists of
%  1. A name which must be a valid TeX macro like '\table'
%  2. A column list in the \pgfplotslist format.
%   In fact, the column list is stored in the table's name:
%   	\pgfplotslistnewempty\table
%  3. A "file name" stored in
%     \csname\string<\namemacro>@@table@name\endcsname
%  4. A "scan line length" number stored in
%  		\csname\string<\namemacro>@@table@scanline\endcsname
%  		It contains the value of \pgfplotsscanlinelength which has
%  		been identified right after \pgfplotstableread.
%  5. foreach column, there is a list of row-values (a row-vector) in
%  the \pgfplotslist format named
%  		\csname\string<\namemacro>@<column name>\endcsname
%

% \pgfplotstableread[OPTIONS] {FILE} to \name
%
% This method reads a table from FILE to macro \name.
%
% FILE is something like
% G	Basis	dof	L2	A	Lmax	cgiter	maxlevel	eps
% 5	5	5	8.31160034e-02	0.00000000e+00	1.80007647e-01	2	2	-1
% 17	17	17	2.54685628e-02	0.00000000e+00	3.75580565e-02	5	3	-1
% ...
%
% A number format line is also understood:
% G	Basis	dof	L2	A	Lmax	cgiter	maxlevel	eps
% $flags int	int	int	sci:8	sci:8	sci:8	int	int	std:8
% 5	5	5	8.31160034e-02	0.00000000e+00	1.80007647e-01	2	2	-1
%
% or a three-column-gnuplot file with 2 comment headers like
% #Curve 0, 20 points
% #x y type
% 0.00000 0.00000 i
% 0.52632 0.50235 i
%
% The table data is stored columnwise in lists and can be accessed
% with the other methods of this package.
%
% \pgfplotstableread[<options>]{<file>}{<\macro>}
% \pgfplotstableread[<options>]{<file>} to listener{<\macro>}
% \pgfplotstableread* ...
%
% The '*' does not protect its local variables with TeX groups,
% everything is added to the current scope (useful to the 'to
% listener' thing.
%
% The 'to listener' variant does NOT assemble a table data structure.
% Instead, it processes the input table row-wise and invokes <\macro>
% after each complete row. During the evaluation of <\macro>, the
% following methods can be used to query values:
%   \pgfplotstablereadgetcolindex{<index>}{<\macro>}
%   \pgfplotstablereadgetcolname{<name>}{<\macro>}
%   \pgfplotstablereadvalueofcolname{<name>}
%   \pgfplotstablereadvalueofcolindex{<index>}
%   \thisrow{<name>} (equivalent to \pgfplotstablereadvalueofcolname)
%   \getthisrow{<name>}{<\macro>} (equivalent to \pgfplotstablereadgetcolname)
%   \thisrowno{<index>} (equivalent to \pgfplotstablereadvalueofcolindex)
%   \getthisrowno{<index>}{<\macro>}
%   \pgfplotstableforeachcolumn\as{<\iteratemacro>}{<loop body>}
%   	(the '\as' is required directly after
%   	\pgfplotstableforeachcolumn in this context)
% Attention: 'to listener' is scoped by TeX groups, so any assignments
% need to be done globally (or with aftergroup magic).
%
% More remarks about scoping:
% \pgfplotstableread to listener works as follows:
%     \begingroup
%     // load table
%     while file has more lines:
%     	load line, read every column;
%     	invoke listener;
%     repeat
%     \endgroup
%
%  In short: all invocations of listener have the same level of
%  scoping: they are inside of one TeX group. But single listener
%  invocations as such are not scoped. Make sure you don't
%  accidentally overwrite one of the internals in listener. And: make
%  sure you don't change temporary registers without scoping them!
%
% Note: this command also updates \pgfplotsscanlinelength.

% ATTENTION: this changes the processing of ALL following newline
% characters.

% Logically, this routine does

% #1
% and that's all. However, It makes sure that any white space
% characters (especially newlines) between '#1' and the following
% argument are gobbled!
%
% To show the problem, consider
% \pgfplotstabletypeset[<options>]
% 	\loadedtable
% 
% and we want to set the catcodes *before* \loadedtable is seen.
% Well, there is a newline character after ']'! If we change the
% catcodes, this newline will be considered as character and will make
% up the first argument, the \loadedtable will be ignored.
%
% \pgfplotstablecollectoneargwithpreparecatcodes avoids this problem
% by gobbling all space (newline) characters *before* collecting the
% directly following argument token. Furthermore, it restores the
% catcodes directly after the argument has been collected.

% Note that 'every table' is usually set *AFTER* any other option. In
% other words: settings in 'every table' have higher precedence than
% those provided, for example, at
% \pgfplotstabletypeset[<options>]{...}.
%
% Why? Well, the <options> need to be set *before* the file name
% argument is read. After all, it might contain an inline table for
% which \catcodes need to be adjusted -- and <options> might explain
% how.
%
% REMARK: An early attempt to change the precendence for 'every table'
% was to set <options> again after 'every table'. But that is
% incompatible with, for example '/.add={}{}' key handlers.
%
% This macro does nothing if 'every table' is empty.
