[reportlab-users] Shape + Stroke problem

[Robin Becker]

Andy claims it is a deliberate feature that strokes with zero width appear in 
postscript/pdf. He says the intent was to implement some drawing convention eg a 
hairline.

Anyhow you can eliminate by setting the strokeColor to None eg

#coding=utf-8
from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas
from reportlab.graphics import shapes
from reportlab.graphics import renderPDF
from reportlab.lib import colors

output = "output.pdf"
width = 400
height = 400
canvas = Canvas(output, pagesize=(width, height))
d = shapes.Drawing(width, height)

p = shapes.Path(strokeColor=None,fillColor=colors.red)
p.moveTo(0, 0)
p.lineTo(100, 100)
p.lineTo(20, 100)
p.closePath()
# Even if I have set the strokeWidth to 0, the stroke is always present but 
thiner than 1...
p.strokeWidth = 0
d.add(p)
renderPDF.draw(d, canvas, 0, 0)
canvas.showPage()
canvas.save()
