Good GPL Qt Report Engine?
-
Hi,
I've been looking at "NCReport":http://www.nocisoft.com/index.php/ncreport/articles/ncreport.html and it's great! But, to my surprise it isn't GPL and the license is € 299 (cheaper option - support only 1 plataform)
I'm looking for something similar.. I need the report engine to support for QAbstractItemModel as datasources. And the Grouping functionality. Anyone knows a good report engine?Thanks..

Perhaps "KDReports":http://www.kdab.com/products/kd-reports is an option? KDAB's stuff is available under GPL, though they don't make it easy to find and download. I did not use this component myself, by the way.
-
"eXaro":http://sourceforge.net/projects/exaro/ project of BogDan Vatra, who make android-lighthouse.

Not sure eXaro will help. Not totally sure, but I think it works only with database source. Never tried to use it with Q*Model source

I don't understand. KDAB sells KDReports' license -- here are the "Prices":http://www.kdab.com/products/license-prices . Also, it seems to be the same as this "KDReports":http://www.ics.com/products/qt/kdreports/ which I considered before creating this thread, and discarded for the same reason as NCReport.
Are you sure it is released under GPL? I will try to find and download it. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction?Thanks..

Well... what you do to get KDAB stuff is this:
- Go to the "KDAB products page":http://www.kdab.com/products
- At the end of the first paragraph, you'll find a link to download evaluation versions
- You end up at page where you need to log in.
- You can create an account at the top of the page under Register. Do that.
- Log in with your account.
- Now, in the top bar, go to "Product Downloads"
- You'll get a page wich states: [quote]We offer GPL versions for most of our releases. A GPL version consists of full source code and documentation for any product released under the GPL License.[/quote]
- Indicate the package you're interested in, and click download. You'll be send back to a page that lists your "licences".
- Wait a few minutes
- Log on with FTP to customers.kdab.com with your credentials. You will be able to download the requested package. You'll note that the licence in your files also say "GPL".
It is a bit of a roundabout way, but yes, they do have GPL versions for their products available for download. It just seems they are not too keen on advertising that or making people actually use them. If they would, they would just offer a direct download link to the GPL version directly on the product page or something obvious like that.

Thanks! I'm downloading right now.. and I'll give it a try asap :)

I've been messing around with KDReports..
Sadly it doesn't seem to support grouping (or at least couldn't find how to use it - it's very bad documented) -
it isn't..
but I don't think there is any qt-based report engine that matches my criteria.. at least not now.
so i've settled with kdreports. -
You can also try OpenRPT http://www.xtuple.com/openrpt
It is LGPL
The documentation is a bit incomplete maybe, but the development is constant.
It is not Crystal Reports, but it can handle reports quite well :)
Formatting of data is a bit tricky, because the "right way" to accomplish formats a bit more complicated then default is to use SQL functions in your query.
Worth considering, I'm using it in a couple of my projects with success. -
It doesn't support SQLite :(

Old topic, but since somebody still might be looking for a modern, scriptable, well documented Qt based reporting solution, want to let you know about CuteReport.

Welcome to the project's website: https://cute-report.com for more information. -
QtRPT 1.5.4 version is released.
