reportlab

I have a list of text to be added to a reportlab frame style = getSampleStyleSheet()['Normal'] style.wordWrap = 'LTR' style.leading = 12 for legend in legends: elements.append(Paragraph(str(legend),style)) If the legend is too long, the text at the end is not visible at all. How to introduce line breaks in this situation. This may or may not apply but I just learned that \n which I normally use to introduce new lines in Python strings gets ignored by the Paragraph object of ReportLab. From a mailing list I learned that inside Paragraph you can use HTML's <br/> to introduce the new line instead

I have two PNGs that I am trying to combine into a PDF using ReportLab 2.3 on Python 2.5. When I use canvas.drawImage(ImageReader) to write either PNG onto the canvas and save, the transparency comes out black. If I use PIL (1.1.6) to generate a new Image, then paste() either PNG onto the PIL Image, it composits just fine. I've double checked in Gimp and both images have working alpha channels and are being saved correctly. I'm not receiving an error and there doesn't seem to be anything my google-fu can turn up. Has anybody out there composited a transparent PNG onto a ReportLab canvas, with

I'm trying to add a simple "page x of y" to a report made with ReportLab.. I found this old post about it, but maybe six years later something more straightforward has emerged? ^^; I found this recipe too, but when I use it, the resulting PDF is missing the images.. I was able to implement the NumberedCanvas approach from ActiveState. It was very easy to do and did not change much of my existing code. All I had to do was add that NumberedCanvas class and add the canvasmaker attribute when building my doc. I also changed the measurements of where the "x of y" was displayed: self.doc.build(pdf)

I use a table but, I draw in in a canvas to control the position of the flowables, this because I have a template in a pdf, an I merge with pyPDF. The wrap is done in a table but the text go up, not down that's what I hope. c is the canvas Code from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4 from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph, Table from reportlab.lib.units cm width, height = A4 styles = getSampleStyleSheet() def coord(x, y, unit=1): x, y = x * unit, height - y * unit return x, y descrpcion = Paragraph('long

I'm using reportlab to create pdfs. When I try to set a font using the following method, I get a KeyError : pdf = Canvas('test.pdf') pdf.setFont('Tahoma', 16) But if I use 'Courier' instead of 'Tahoma' there isn't a problem. How can I use Tahoma? Perhabs Tahoma is a TrueType font, and you need to register it first. According to the user guide of ReportLab you need to do this: from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('Vera', 'Vera.ttf')) pdfmetrics.registerFont(TTFont('VeraBd', 'VeraBd.ttf')) pdfmetrics.registerFont

I've the following code where I'm drawing a vertical bar graph and a line graph as well inside a PDF. How do I save these 2 graphs in 2 different pages of the PDF. I saw that it can be done using - c = canvas.Canvas("hello.pdf") hello(c) c.showPage() c.save() But, instead of using Canvas, I'm using Drawing object in which showPage() method does not exist. How do I save the 2 graphs in 2 different pages of the PDF? Right the second graph(line chart) overlaps the first graph (vertical bar chart), thereby hindering the bar chart. Here is my code. from reportlab.graphics.shapes import Drawing from
