Either create or get hold of a ParagraphStyle and set its attributes as
you wish. For example, if you want to change the Normal style,
add these two lines:
styleN.alignment = 'justify'
styleN.fontName = 'Helvetica-Bold'
To make a new one do
from reportlab.lib.styles import ParagraphStyle
myStyle = ParagraphStyle('fancy')
myStyle.alignment = 'justify'
...
or whatever.
Paragraphs and ParagraphStyles are thoroughly documented in
Chapter 6 of our user guide. However, if you are new to Python or
object oriented programming I can see this might need
more examples.....
We'll try to get you some pointers on the chart tomorrow...
