I'm referring this link for generation of Pie Chart. In this the colors are pre-defined for each data, ie 10 colors for 10 data points. What if I have 11 data points and then there will be no color for that 11th data point. I want something dynamic which should automatically pick a color by itself and plot it on the pie. I found this link and this link , but the colors over here are not catchy and not at all good. Can someone please brief me about how to get catchy colors in pie graph? Thanks You can also provide from reportlab.lib.colors import Color like: Color(red=0, green=0, blue=1, alpha

I'm using the on page function and a page template to make headers for a subset of the pages in my document: templates.append(PageTemplate(id='Overview', frames=frame, onPage=HeaderOverview)) The header function for this template: ################################ # Function HeaderOverview - header for overview page def HeaderOverview(canvas,doc): canvas.saveState() headboxh = 15 headboxx = 20 headboxy = 730 headboxw = 570 canvas.rect(headboxx, headboxy, headboxw, headboxh, fill=1) canvas.setFillColor(colors.black) canvas.setFont("Helvetica", 14) canvas.setFillColor(colors.white) canvas

I'm using reportlab 2.6's ListFlowable to make a bulleted list with colored circle bullets. However, I would like the bullet to appear next to the text, rather than aligned with the preceding, non-indented text. I tried to open up the ListFlowable source, but I couldn't find much there. Here's what I have: from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph, ListFlowable, ListItem, SimpleDocTemplate, Frame from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet, ParagraphStyle from reportlab.lib.colors import CMYKColor doc = SimpleDocTemplate("SOtest.pdf") styles = getSampleStyleSheet() Story = [] Story

I'm doing my first program using ReportLab where I don't know in advance where the page breaks will fall and I'm having trouble. To keep things simple I'm using the SimpleDocTemplate . My flowables look something like this: flowables = [Paragraph("Some title", style=headerParagraphStyle), Spacer(0, 10), Paragraph("first paragraph", style=bodyParagraphStyle), Paragraph("second paragraph", style=bodyParagraphStyle), ... Paragraph("nth paragraph", style=bodyParagraphStyle), PageBreak(), Paragraph("Some title", style=headerParagraphStyle), Spacer(0, 10), Paragraph("first paragraph", style

I'm making a table, where the table can be either small or large depending upon the data being received. While I was providing a huge data set, I noticed that although the table is being made but my all content is not there, since it occupies only 1 page for that. So, my question is How do I continue a content to a next page in Reportlabs without using showpage() , since I wont be able to know when to hit showpage or when not, because the content is being dynamically generated? Code def plot_table(pie_labels, pie_data, city_devices): styles = getSampleStyleSheet() styleN = styles["BodyText"]

I've spent the day on this issue with no success so help would be appreciated. I generate a graph using reportlab and successfully render it to the browser using this tutorial : d = MyBarChartDrawing() #extract the request params of interest. #I suggest having a default for everything. if 'height' in request: d.height = int(request['height']) if 'width' in request: d.width = int(request['width']) if 'numbers' in request: strNumbers = request['numbers'] numbers = map(int, strNumbers.split(',')) d.chart.data = [numbers] #bar charts take a list-of-lists for data if 'title' in request: d.title
