OVERVIEW LazReport is a group of components to add reporting capabilities to applications, it uses a visual designer to create banded reports and includes a report engine with previewer and includes a interpreter to run user scripts. Report designer can be invoked at runtime. LICENSE LazReport is based on FreeReport 2.32 and thanks to Fast Reports Inc. it's available under modified LGPL, the same license as the Lazarus LCL. see files LazReport/ license.txt, license-rus.txt and license-lazreport.txt for detail. AUTHORS FreeReport was created for Fast Reports Inc. LazReport initial port was made by Olivier Guilbaud. Lazarus integration and fixes by Jesus Reyes A. Many contributors, see contributors.txt file INSTALL To install LazReport under lazarus IDE: 1. Open LazReport Package. Menu: Components->Open package file (.lpk)... 2. Open file $LazarusPath/components/lazreport/source/lazreport.lpk 3. Compile 4. Install Next time lazarus is started, it should show a LazReport tab in component palette. DOCUMENTATION. Specific docs for LazReport are yet to be written, but there is valuable information in $lazreportPath/doc directory, the file fr_eng.sxw is an OpenOffice word document explaining FastReport v2.32 and most things should be applied to LazReport too. Some tests are provided in samples directory to help user to get started in LazReport. NOTES. Originally using LazReport under Linux/x86 some global localization variables were initializated using unit Libc, however the use of libc is not recommended by developers of FPC, "The FPC libc unit is a Kylix compatibility unit that is only compiled for linux/x86, since that is the only target Kylix compiles for". Therefore, libc unit is no longer used by default in LazReport but can be enabled by uncommenting the UseLibC define line in file lr_vers.inc BUG REPORTS. Please report problems using the freepascal bugtracker: http://www.freepascal.org/mantis/main_page.php, project: "Lazarus Packages", Category "LazReport", for patches please submit a bug report and attach the patch to it.
