[reportlab-users] Width of XPreformatted

[Rüdiger Mähl]

I found a solution.

w = max([stringWidth(line, fontName, fontSize) for line in text.split('\n')])
(But I can't relocate the web address.)

One has to add the left and right padding, as well as the grid line width,
then the table column width is correct.

Many regards,
