[reportlab-users] Graphics and titles

[Knud Riishøjgård]

Another approach to solving your problem could be: Use the KeepTogether 
flowable.


completelistofparagraphs = []
do this for each pie/chart:
   listofparagraphs = []
   listofparagraphs.append(Paragraph('Header', style))
   drawing = shapes.Drawing(width, height)
   pie = Pie() #any other kind of chart
   #do a lot w pie :-)
   drawing.add(pie)
   listofparagraphs.append(drawing)
   completelistofparagraphs.append(KeepTogether(listofparagraphs))

I hope the above makes sense - I'm using KeepTogethers a lot.

Best regards
Knud Riishojgaard
