The “Little Coda Toolb/ox” provides for a library including:

• a nice set of common array handling functions, thus freeing the modder from the perils of index-fiddling.
• array sorting.
• some derived data types (association list, an array specialising in references, a self-expanding array).
• a handful (or a score) of output functions, useful for debugging and reporting.
• "Maps" for dealing with cells in a worldspace.
• "Pixmaps" for placing objects according to patterns.
• "Graphs", convenient for e.g. grouping stuff.
  

Plus a couple of handy routines. Documentation is included in the main file (HTML, PDF, plain text -- these make up for 90 percent of the download...). The DOCS tab shows the plain text version of the documentation.

Copying

The “Little Coda Toolbox” is the work of TesaPlus on nexusmods.com.  Used resources are:

As I understand it, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ link is more restrictive than the other, and therefore it is the one that “Little Coda Toolbox”, version 2.0, as a whole, inherits.  This license is infectuous!  (Someone point me to a less restrictive source of a small compact sorting algo, and I can adjust the license.)
