## Introduction

&kugar; is a report creation tool for &TQt; and &tde;. It includes a &GUI; report template designer, a report engine, a &konqueror; part for easy report preview and a set of examples.

The &kudesigner; is a report template creation tool for the &kugar; report engine. The &kugar; report engine uses an &XML; based report template file (which can be created by hand or with &kudesigner;) and a data file (also in &XML; format) to create reports. To get more information on &kudesigner; refer to the Report Template Designer Manual.

See The KugarTemplate Document Type Definition for an overview of the template's DTD (file format), KugarData Document Type Definition and Tutorial for a step-by-step explanation on how reports can be created.

Programmers should also refer to the Programmer's guide to find information about using &kugar; in their own applications.
