[reportlab-users] Graphics and titles

[JP Glutting]

Ok, I am trying a workaround for this thing, and it is giving me some 
odd errors. I tried breaking the string up into smaller strings, and 
printing each one seperately (with an offset, but I never get to the 
part where I calibrate that). When I do this, i get this error:

AssertionError: expected one category name but foud 6 in axis.
    categories = ['1. survey question']

Any idea what is going on here? It looks to me like the strings i am 
putting into this drawing are being interpreted as tick labels (almost 
certainly, because the function that returns the error is called 
makeTickLabels). I don't understand why that is - tha ta single string 
can be priinted, but multiple strings are intepreted as labels.

Thanks!

JP
