[reportlab-users] Setting custom shape-attributes via setProperties(...)

[Markus Rechtien]

Hi,

Working on a project that aims at improving the printing
of maps using the GIS-viewer Thuban, I plan to export the
data (and it's visualisation) in SVG format using ReportLabs
renderSVG module.

I need to store additional attributes with the SVG elements.
The ReportLab API enables to set custom shape properties
via the setProperties(..) method.
To get this additional data into the corrensponding SVG
element I surely have to extend the renderer (or write my 
own..). The final question: Is this a valid way that will be 
supported in future or may there occur any changes
which could make this impossible hereafter ?

Regards,
	Markus
