[reportlab-users] Flowables, documentation

I'm pretty new to ReportLab, so forgive what may seem like naive
questions:

1) I'm trying to create Image flowables in a report. However, the
image gets rendered smaller than the width and height I specified.
When I draw a frame around the Image, the frame is the size I wanted
for the Image. Is there a way to make a Flowable take up _all_ of
the space I specify?

2) I have an XPreformatted element with multiple lines of text. I've
noticed that when I make the font bigger, the lines of text start to
run into each other. Just like above, I have a boundary of blank
space around my text, so in theory it shouldn't be an issue of
running out of room. Is there a way to keep these lines of text from
running into each other?

3) Is there any epydoc or similar HTML documentation for ReportLab?
I notice in the User's Guide entry for XPreformatted that there is a
keyword "frags". However, the documentation doesn't mention what
that does. I'm hoping that if the API is documented automatically on-
line somewhere, then I could bother people less on this mailing list...

Thanks,

Mike
