Kugaris a discontinued tool for generating business quality reports forKOffice.The reports can be viewed and printed. It includes a standalonereportviewerand aKPartsreport viewer. The latter means that anyK Desktop Environment 3application can embed the report viewing functionality and that reports can be viewed using theKonquerorbrowser.

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 aURLwhich allows businesses to create a centrally managed template library.
