[reportlab-users] Changeing page orientation of canvas.

[Doug]

Hi Ian:

Is this what you are looking for?

# Reportlab imports
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.units import inch, cm
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4,letter
from reportlab.lib import colors


c = canvas.Canvas("hello.pdf",pagesize=letter)

c.drawString(0.3*inch,0.3*inch,'Hello world')
c.showPage()

c.setPageSize((100,100))
c.drawString(0.3*inch,0.3*inch,'Blargh Yack!')
c.showPage()
c.save()

Ok, the same code with an _.

No discernable difference. Perhaps you could try this code jerome and see what you get?

# Reportlab imports
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.units import inch, cm
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4,letter
from reportlab.lib import colors


c = canvas.Canvas("hello.pdf",pagesize=letter)

c.drawString(0.3*inch,0.3*inch,'Hello world')
c.showPage()

c._pageSize = 100,100
c.drawString(0.3*inch,0.3*inch,'Blargh Yack!')
c.showPage()
c.save()

Thanks.

- I.

an underscore ???

that's c._pagesize as reported by the pdfgen/canvas.py file in 
the __init__ method

not sure if this is present in the documentation
