hi,=20
=20
I am working with the sample code from test_platypus_tables.py.
I have added a lot more data cells when the table is created in order to =
test splitting the table over mulitple pages.
=20
I set up the table thus:
t =3D Table(data, None, None, None, None, 0, 1, 1)
where data is my huge amount of data to put into the table.
=20
>From the documentation, I thought this would split by Column first if it =
was too wide and then by page.
I also thought it would repeat the header on each page as well.
=20
But when I compile, I get a LayoutError exception about something being =
too large on page 2.
=20
I even added a call to 'self.allowSplitting =3D 1' in the test0 =
function.
But I still get the error.
=20
Is it possible to split tables over multiple pages in ReportLab, or only =
paragraphs?
And if so, how do you accomplish this?
=20
Thanks,
Sun
