# ColVis



ColVis adds a button to the toolbars around DataTables which gives the end user of the table the ability to dynamically change the visibility of the columns in the table:



* Dynamically show and hide columns in a table

* Very easy integration with DataTables

* Ability to exclude columns from being either hidden or shown

* Save saving integration with DataTables





# Installation



To use ColVis, first download DataTables ( http://datatables.net/download ) and place the unzipped ColVis package into a `extensions` directory in the DataTables package. 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



ColVis is initialised using the `C` option that it adds to DataTables' `dom` option. For example:



```js

$(document).ready( function () {

    $('#example').dataTable( {

        "dom": 'C<"clear">lfrtip'

    } );

} );

```
