[reportlab-users] Changing from Landscape to Portrait orientation in the same document.

[Winn Ketchum]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have a newbie question (should be simple to answer) that has been
bugging me for the past day or so and after pouring over all online
posts related to reportlab still can't be figured out.  All I am trying
to do is switch from landscape to portrait orientation in the same
document.  This will allow me to create a table of features (including
links to the pictures of these within the table) and then put in the
pictures so they can be linked to.

 

Here is the code I have come up with so far to facilitate what should be
a straight forward process:

from reportlab.lib.enums import TA_LEFT, TA_RIGHT, TA_CENTER, TA_JUSTIFY

from reportlab.lib import colors

from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter, landscape

from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate, Paragraph, Spacer,
Image, Frame, Table, TableStyle, NextPageTemplate, PageTemplate,
BaseDocTemplate

from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet, ParagraphStyle

from reportlab.lib.units import inch

from reportlab.platypus.flowables import Flowable, PageBreak

from pyPdf import PdfFileReader, PdfFileWriter

import glob, os

from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter, A4

 

doc = BaseDocTemplate("M:\GIS Mapping Services\Promotional\Automated
Reports\PDF_ReportLab\NextPageExample.pdf",showBoundary=1,pagesize=lands
cape(letter))

elements = []

styles = getSampleStyleSheet()

styles.add(ParagraphStyle(name='normal', fontSize=6, leading = 7,
alignment=TA_LEFT))

 

ptemplate = PageTemplate(id='portrait', pagesize=portrait(letter))

elements.append(Paragraph("Table is here.",styles["normal"]))

elements.append(NextPageTemplate('portrait'))

elements.append(PageBreak())

elements.append(Paragraph("Pictures are to be placed
here.",styles["normal"]))

 

doc.build(elements)

del elements

 

If you have any tips or would like to help me out with this can you
please be specific and show me exactly what I am doing wrong or include
a working example that goes from start to finish without any coding
missing.  

 

Thank you in advance for your help,

 

Winn
