[reportlab-users] How to get renderPM working?...

[Peter K. Korsgaard]

Hi,

Im a newbie of using reportlab.

I packed out the reportlab zip-archive "reportlab_1_20" in "c:\python23\lib"
and
wrote:

 \python23\python.exe setup.py build
 \python23\python.exe setup.py install

in the same way i installed 'renderPM-1.00-daily-win32.zip'

now i run the example:

from reportlab.lib import colors
from reportlab.graphics.shapes import *
d = Drawing(400, 200)
d.add(Rect(50, 50, 300, 100, fillColor=colors.yellow))
d.add(String(150,100, 'Hello World',fontSize=18, fillColor=colors.red))
from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF
renderPDF.drawToFile(d, 'example1.pdf', 'My First Drawing')

it works fine, but when i change the two last lines to following it dont
work and i get the understanding error message, what do i have to
do???......... I need this tool to plot (lat,long) positions at a
geographical map in a 'jpg' or in a 'bmp' -file.

from reportlab.graphics import renderPM
renderPM.drawToFile(d, 'example1.pdf', 'My First Drawing')
