# TableTools
TableTools is a plug-in for the DataTables HTML table enhancer, which adds a highly customisable button toolbar to a DataTable. Key features include:
* Copy to clipboard
* Save table data as CSV, XLS or PDF files
* Print view for clean printing
* Row selection options
* Easy use predefined buttons
* Simple customisation of buttons
* Well defined API for advanced control
# Installation
To use TableTools, first download DataTables ( http://datatables.net/download ) and place the unzipped TableTools package into a `extensions` directory in the DataTables package (in DataTables 1.9- use the `extras` directory). This will allow the pages in the examples to operate correctly. To see the examples running, open the `examples` directory in your web-browser.
# Basic usage
TableTools is initialised using the `T` option that it adds to DataTables' `dom` option. For example:
```js
$(document).ready( function () {
$('#example').DataTable( {
dom: 'Tlfrtip'
} );
} );
```
