Kugar is a discontinued tool for generating business quality reports forKOffice. The reports can be viewed and printed. It includes a standalonereportviewer and aKParts report viewer. The latter means that anyK Desktop Environment 3 application can embed the report viewing functionality and that reports can be viewed using theKonqueror browser.
Kugar works by merging application generated data with a template to produce the final report. Both the data and the template are specified usingXML. This approach means that applications only need worry about generating the data itself. A template can be referenced via aURL which allows businesses to create a centrally managed template library.
Kugar was developed by theKompany as derivative fromMetaphrast, originally written by Keith Davis at Mutiny Bay Software, beginning in August 1999.[3][4][5] theKompany released version 1.0 on 21 September 2000[1] which was based onK Desktop Environment 2 andQt 2.2.0.[6] On 21 February 2001 Kugar was donated toKDE for inclusion intoKOffice.[1] KOffice 1.1 – the last version based onK Desktop Environment 2 – was released as beta version on 24 April 2001 and already included Kugar as stable application.[7] Kugar remained part ofKOffice up to version 1.6.3.[8][2] Kugar was not ported to become part of KOffice 2.Kexi’s new Report Designer – introduced in KOffice 2.2 on 28 May 2010[9] – served as replacement for Kugar.[10]
