[reportlab-users] vertical alignment for xpreformatted

[Michael Hearne]

Is there some sort of vertical alignment attribute or method for  
frames or xpreformatted instances?  I'm trying to get some text to  
use up all of the space in a frame and it keeps getting squished  
towards the middle, as the code snippet below hopefully  
demonstrates.  I did look at the documentation and searched the for  
examples, but they all seemed to relate to troubles with tables.

#!/usr/bin/python

from reportlab.platypus import Frame, KeepInFrame, Image
from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet
from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph, XPreformatted, Image

canvas = Canvas('output.pdf', pagesize=letter)
width,height = letter

flowables = []

w = 100
h = 40
x = 20
y = 20

stylesheet = getSampleStyleSheet()
style = stylesheet['Normal']
text = '<para alignment="right"> <font size="32">\n'
text = text + "<b>Hello world!\nI'm right here</b>\n\n"
text = text + '</font></para>'
print text
p = XPreformatted(text,style,dedent=0)

flowables.append(KeepInFrame(w,h,[p]))
f = Frame(x,y,w,h,0,0,0,0)
f.drawBoundary(canvas)
f.addFromList(flowables,canvas)

canvas.save()
