[reportlab-users] re: Crashing when table goes over a page

[Robin Becker]

Garth and others. I have a fix for the problem you reported. At some time
 in the past Aaron turned off hard error trapping in the frame _add method.
 Now we control that using rl_config.allowTableBoundsErrors. I think he
 assumed that we would fail in the split method if the table was too wide. 


I changed the test in frames._add to

        if not rl_config.allowTableBoundsErrors and ((h>self._aH or w>self._aW) and not trySplit):

and in the table split method I used

        def split(self, availWidth, availHeight):
                self._calc(availWidth, availHeight)
                if self.splitByRow:
                        if not rl_config.allowTableBoundsErrors and self._width>availWidth: return []
                        return self._splitRows(availHeight)
                else:
                        raise NotImplementedError

that seems to fix the table of doom at the expense of allowing tables that
 are too wide.
