[reportlab-users] colwidths question

[Jessup, David]

What I tend to do is perform the following import:
 

> from reportlab.lib.units import unit

 
where unit is "inch", "cm", "mm", or "pica".  I can then set colWidths =
(inch, 2.5 * inch, inch, inch) in units I can measure with a ruler.

Subject: [reportlab-users] colwidths question


Hi... me again..

There is something I am not understanding about colWidths...
I'm trying to create a Table with colWidths = (28,10,10,10), those are
the widest character lengths of the strings in my columns...

 I'm obviously not understanding about the units for the column widths
because I get a really squished table.

Is there an idiom for setting exact widths for columns that I am
missing?

thanks,
James
