Hi,

I thought that might be an interesting information for you, that the
Reportlab Toolkit works fine on the restricted Python 2.5 Environment of
the new Google AppEngine. I use it for this little demo of HTML to PDF
conversion and it performs very well:

That is good news. For a long time we thought to make the _rl_accel extension required rather than optional - and we don't do enough testing without it -, but this is a good reason to keep it this way.

Dirk, your app is not returning properly when an error occurs. It 
returns result.pdf as a text file and that seems to confuse my browser 
into trying to open the traceback text as a pdf.

Anyhow the error I got was this

I suppose I was trying to convert something that was too large.

Thanks for the hint! I save the requests in a data store to analyze
buggy requests. There seems to be an error that I will fix shortly.

Subject: [reportlab-users] Platypus spacing issues
Message-ID: <30DC3E30-7AEE-4A41-9214-087EF01C4AFF@darwin.in-berlin.de>

Hi,

every once in a while I'm stumbling over little Platypus issues
and wonder if there is a known solution to them? Here are two
questions for today, illustrated with the following sample docu-
ment (reusing a RL sample document):

     http://python.net/~gherman/tmp/TestPdfPage_test0.pdf (664 KB)

1. I put a Spacer flowable before and after the illustrations. As
you can see at the top right column on page 1, I'd like this par-
ticular Spacer to be ignored, since it occurs at the top of a frame
and adds an ugly ragged look, because the left and right columns
are no longer aligned at the top. Does anybody know how to achieve
this effect with Platypus?

2. In the left column on page two you see un agly gap, because the
following illustration did not fit there anymore. Is there some
flowable magic that would detect this, grab the following flowable
(in this case a paragraph) and split it such that the image is fit
into the "middle" of the paragraph and the empty space disappears?
Or is there any other way to do this?

If I'm not mistaken LaTeX provides both features out of the box.

Thanks,

Dinu

I think (have not checked though) that a flowable with spaceBefore will
have the spaceBefore ignored  at the top of the frame, but a spacer object
by itself is real and does not disappear.

This is probably a bug and we should ignore spacers at top.  It would also
tidy up some of our own projects, come to think of it.  Anyone disagree?

One small nit - in your example, the client gave permission for us to use
their brand imagery in a specific context, an approved case study of theirs,
but not in THIS context.  If we are going to use images to illustrate bugs
or teaching  examples, let's not pick ones from big corporations in future.
Otherwise I get emails from legal departments asking me to remove things
from public mailman archives, which I can't do.  Don't use their name in
this thread either!

No, there is not.  Currently we don't do any reordering.

2 comments:  (a) we're not as clever as Donald Knuth and pals,
(b) Platypus does a dumb forward pass with no backtracking,
hence its speed (even in Python) and relative stupidity with
widows, orphans etc.

I have ideas for future (incompatible) versions but the API would
have to be a bit different.  If you have items A, B and C in the story
and you do not absolutely require B to occur between A and C,
it would need to be declared somehow.

Sure, I'll change that. It was just a nice sample. And, BTW,
I had to remove some garbage at the end of the file to be
able to reuse it.

Subject: [reportlab-users] Embedding Equations into PDF
Message-ID: <0ML2xA-1Jv80u2D61-0005cu@mrelayeu.kundenserver.de>

Hi everybody,

I have the following requirement: I have a set of formulas inside my Python
scripts (something like X = (Y+2)*5 + C) which I would like to embed into
the generated PDF's - of course pretty formatted as true equations.

I've googled, but the only references I found is for Latex-related stuff,
and some pointers to MathML. 

I don't want to add an additional dependency like Latex to my project... I'm
also aware that Reportlab vs Latex has been discussion areas in the past
(and I DON'T want to initiate the discussion again...) 

Does anyone of you have pointers to a "small" lib which represents (mostly
simple) equations nicely? Or an algorythm which I may then port to Python?

Andrew

Hi?

Have you tried googling for "math formula reportlab"? ;-)

Maybe the first result will help?

Arg... I tried keywords like "reportlab math equation visual algorithm gif
jpg formula display convert mathML" in various combinations, searched in the
scipy area, cheeseshop... but just this combination I missed... ;-))

Hi
for the first question you can try:

#print nuova_lista
from reportlab.lib import pagesizes
top = pagesize.a4[1] -100

def stampaid(can):
    can.setTitle('ELENCO IDENTIFICATIVI')
    can.setFont('Courier', 16)
    for row in rows:
        top = top -20
        can.drawString(10, top, str(row[0]))


can = canvas.Canvas("LISTA IDENTIFICATIVI.pdf")
stampaid (can)
can.showPage()
can.save()

for the second question, it seems to me that it works as expected: I'
ve opened the attacched pdf and the title is LISTA IDENTIFICATIVI;
I' ve used acrobat reader as viewer

Hope this helps
Ciao!
Pier

ops... just a typo error. The correct line is
top = pagesizes.A4[1] -100

I know that I have asked before, but I am still having troubles with a
table that is multiple pages long.  Right now, I have a table with one
characteristic that is

('SPAN', (0,-1), (-2,-1))  

I only want this on the LAST row of the LAST table no matter how many
pages there are.  As previously mentioned, it is being placed on the
last row of every page, not solely the last one.  I know there is a
special string 'splitlast' that is suppose to handle this case.  I have
tried it both like

('SPAN', (0,-1), (-2,'splitlast')) and
('SPAN', (0, 'splitlast'), (-2, -1))

Without any luck.  

Can anyone please explain if one, this is the right solution to the
problem, and two, what needs to be done to fix this

Thanks

Brandon

Subject: [reportlab-users] [ANNOUNCE] Online LTO barcode labels generator
Message-ID: <20080518161743.GA4662@mail.librelogiciel.com>

Hi there,

With the help of some code I've contributed to ReportLab a few days 
ago, I've put a new web service online. 

This web service can help people generate LTO (Linear Tape Open)
barcode labels usually found in backup libraries. It is currently
accessible from :

        http://cgi.librelogiciel.com/labels/
        
(NB : google ads are used to sponsorize this service, so don't go there
if you don't like these)

You can generate as many labels as you want, in batches of 10000        
maximum (to not consume too much resources when people only want
to play with it).

The code in ReportLab currently features two new Flowables, which 
are built on the work done on barcodes by Ty Sarna : BaseLTOLabel,
which defines the basic structure of such labels, and VerticalLTOLabel
which adds some features like color scheme and boxed tape ID.
They are available from reportlab.graphics.barcode.lto.

Theses classes inherit from the Standard39 class but define special
values for ratio and spacing as required by the LTO norm.

In the coming week(s) I'll try to add support for more formats. The 
actual online code (not yet contributed to RL) allows user defined 
color scheme, but ideally the placement of the tape ID should be
partically configurable as well, and this is what I'll try to do.

Comments are welcome.

bye

Jerome Alet

Hi J?r?me,

I'll provide a comment, although I'm more interested in matrix codes
nowadays.

What about these LTO codes makes it necessary to add flowables to
the RL code base? In other words, isn't it possible to distribute
them as an addition to RL, as a seperate distribution?

I'm just curious because given the current, rather unpredictable,
RL release policy I'm looking for motivation to contribute any code.

Regards,

Dinu

Yes this could be distributed separately, provided you modify the import
statements if needed.

I've just made these classes inherits from the ones written
by Ty Sarna which are already included in RL, and it happens
they are Flowables.

I don't care much about RL's release policy. I just wanted to give
something back for all I have obtained for free.

If you want to print the value in combo box self.tc3, then you'd say 
something like this:
    can.drawString( 10, 600, self.tc3.GetValue() )

Reportlab doesn't care where the strings came from.  They're just strings.

Message-ID: <87bq2u2f4t.fsf@enceladus.ygingras.net>


Hi, 
  We manage the deployment of a web application with setuptools
dependencies requirements.  Those are version specifications that we
put in setup.py so that when we install our app on a new host,
setuptools takes care of easy_installing our dependencies.
Easy_install can figure out how to install most python archives if
there is a setup.py file at the root.

Reportlab is one of the few python packages that do not build its
tarball with 

  python setup.py sdist

or if it does, there is some major customizations going on at
generation time.  Installing Reportlab is easy but it would be even
easier and a good target for automation if the tarball was more in
line with the other python packages out there (and registered on
PyPi).

I don't mind doing the required code massaging to produce an
easy_installable tarball.  Would such path be merge into Reportlab?

Thanks !

Finally I've removed the need to fill-in your email address from
the site, so its much easier to use now.

I'll be glad to add more paper formats, the existing one is used
in France, but I don't know what is used in other countries, so
if people can give me precise dimensions, colors etc... about the
paper format most used in your own country, please do (privately)

Bye

Hi Jerome,

when I saw your funny sample again I immediately wondered what
standard there is in France for the punch wholes in different
paper formats (if there is any at all)?

So far I've seen only ISO 838 as described on this page:

   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole_punch

For our American friends: the three whole "standard" seems to
be rather underspecified or am I mistaken?

Thanks,

Dinu

Has anybody used FreeTextAnnotations successfully and has an example of 
using it. I am interested in an application where I am able to get an 
annotation on a text object when the cursor rolls over that object when 
viewing the document on a screen. This would be like a pop-up comment 
field in Excel. Unfortunately, I am able to get FreeTextAnnotation work 
the way I want to and am looking for actual application examples

Any help will be appreciated

Subject: [reportlab-users] Word-wraps on something other than white space
Message-ID: <000b01c8c03c$e55ff120$6663a8c0@lenovoengws4>

I'm writing a simple application that formats up bill of material lists. In
the table outputted the part reference cell will contain something like the
following:

R1,R2,R3....R50

which I want wapped as follows:

R1,R2,R3,R4
R5,R6,R7,R8
R9,R10,R11,
R12,R13,R14

etc.

Latex has a way to add conditional word wrapping breakpoints, can the
reportlab library do this too? I have looked though the breakLines function
in the platypus/paragraph.py in the source, which doesn't look promising,
but if I missed something I'd love to hear otherwise.

On my system with latest svn reportlab I see this


C:\code\reportlab\docs\userguide>python genuserguide.py
Built story contains 1289 flowables...
Saved "c:\code\reportlab\docs\userguide.pdf"

so I think this works if all the standard modules are present.

Have you installed the accelerator codes eg pyRXP, _rl_accel etc etc? If yes 
what version of python are you using?

Any news about that? Or is ReportLab slowly adopting Django's
release policy? ;-)

We'll try to tackle this in our next release, and ensure it works
cleanly with various distutils options.

I hoped we'd do a release in May but we have fallen behind (as Dinu will
doubtless point out), partly as we're working on a new web site; we did at
least go through and identifying the key changes which need documenting.
It should hopefully come out in June/July.

Best Regards,
