[reportlab-users] merge 2 canvas

[Thomas Kremmel]

Hi,

I want to merge 2 canvas and found this article dealing with this topic.

http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2006-May/004940.html


If I understand it right it is possible, using the pycanvas class.
http://www.java2s.com/Open-Source/Python/PDF/ReportLab/ReportLab_2_4/src/reportlab/pdfgen/pycanvas.py.htm

I tried doing it like described in the message, but the following does not
work.

p = pycanvas.Canvas(buffer,pagesize=PAGESIZE)
#init your canvas
source_code_equiv = str(p)
#for testing - double the canvas
source_code_equiv += source_code_equiv
p = source_code_equiv.doIt(buffer)
p.showPage()
p.save()

This obviously can not work since I'm calling doIt on a string, but I have
no clue how to do it.
Maybe someone an idea!?

Tom
