<h1>KDataTool Class Reference</h1>
<code>from PyKDE4.kio import *</code>
<p>
Inherits: <a href="http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/static/Docs/PyQt4/html/qobject.html">QObject</a><br />
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>A generic tool that processes data.
</p>
<p>
A data-tool is a "plugin" for an application, that acts (reads/modifies)
on a portion of the data present in the document (e.g. a text document,
a single word or paragraph, a KSpread cell, an image, etc.)
</p>
<p>
The application has some generic code for presenting the tools in a popupmenu
<dl class="see" compact><dt><b>See also:</b></dt><dd> KDataToolAction, and for activating a tool, passing it the data
(and possibly getting modified data from it).
</dd></dl>
