Free report designer software for linux

Crow is a modern GUI builder for the GTK+ toolkit.
Crow is full-featured yet lightweight: its tree-based [Property Explorer]? solves many GUI constructing tasks in a versatile manner without additional popup dialogs.

Main features:
- [Property Explorer]? for managing trees of nested objects and arrays
- undo/redo for all operations
- uses GuiXml as a save format: a simple GUI description language
- utilizes GtkUIManager for generating menus and toolbars
- multi-platform: GNU/Linux, *BSD and Windows are supported
- IDE-embeddable: implemented as a widget in a dynamic library
- standalone designer application is included in the distribution
- GPL license

The IceWM Control Panel (IceWMCP) IcePref2 Theme Designer tool allows you to easily create and modify themes for IceWM.
IceWM Control Panel (IceWMCP) is the first full-featured, Gtk-based control panel for IceWM. It is meant to run in IceWM, but can be used in ANY window manager as a general-purpose control panel.
IceWMCP is multi-lingual. Currently, the following languages are supported: English, Spanish, Russian, Traditional Chinese, French (partial), and Finnish (IceWMCP-IceMe only).
Developers: If you would like to use IceWMCP as the foundation for a new control panel (for a new window manager, etc.), see the developers release of IceWMCP. IceWMCP was inspired by the Qt-based application called IceCC, but includes many more tools, a more familiar Windoze Control Panel-like interface, and uses the MUCH faster Gtk user interface (Who runs a fast Window Manager like IceWM, to launch SLOW-running, memory-intensive Qt/KDE-based applications?? I sure dont).
Lets face it: IceWM and fast Gtk interfaces work well together. In addition, because IceWM Control Panel is written with a TRUE open source widget set, Gtk+, you dont have to worry about the licensing problems associated with proprietary QT-based applications. IceWM Control Panel is TRUE open source, through and through.
Version restrictions:
- Access to a Bash shell (very important)
- Python (2.2 or better), PyGtk-2 (1.9.9/2.0.0 or better)
- Gtk+ 2.0.6 or better - neither Gnome nor PyGnome is required
- (IceWMCP versions 2.5 and earlier require Gtk+1 and PyGtk-1 0.6.9)
- Your version of PyGtk should have the Gdk-Pixbuf modules on your system
- Please run ALL IceWMCP programs from a BASH shell: Using other shells such as ksh, pdksh, csh, tcsh, etc. is likely to cause problems.
- If your IceWMCP programs have trouble launching other applications, it is most likely because you are using something other than a Bash (/bin/bash) shell.
- Run the programs from Bash...period!

SRG is a Squid Report Generator designed for the needs of CRCnet. None of the existing report generators could provide the exact solution that we required and we decided to start from scratch rather than trying to modify an existing progamme.

- Added option (-r) to allow sorting output reports by any column via javascript

Agata Report is a cross-platform database reporting tool with graph generation and a query tool that allows you to get data from PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, DB2, MS-SQL, Informix, InterBase, Sybase, or Frontbase and export that data as PostScript, plain text, HTML, XML, PDF, or spreadsheet (CSV) formats through its graphical interface.

Data::Report provides a framework for flexible reporting.

Data::Report is a flexible, plugin-driven reporting framework. It makes it easy to define reports that can be produced in text, HTML and CSV. Textual ornaments like extra empty lines, dashed lines, and cell lines can be added in a way similar to HTML style sheets.

The Data::Report framework consists of three parts:
The plugins

Plugins implement a specific type of report. Standard plugins provided are Data::Report::Plugin::Text for textual reports, Data::Report::Plugin::Html for HTML reports, and Data::Report::Plugin::Csv for CSV (comma-separated) files.
Users can, and are encouraged, to develop their own plugins to handle different styles and types of reports.

The base class
The base class Data::Report::Base implements the functionality common to all reporters, plus a number of utility functions the plugins can use.

The factory
The actual Data::Report module is a factory that creates a reporter for a given report type by selecting the appropriate plugin and returning an instance thereof.
