[reportlab-users] How are split, wrap, wrapOn supposed to work?

[Robin Becker]

Hi Henning,

I started to look at this in a cut down test (see attached).

However I am getting errors in the released version of wordaxe eg

 >>> from wordaxe.rl.NewParagraph import Paragraph
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File 
"C:\code\hg-repos\reportlab\tmp\twordaxe\lib\site-packages\wordaxe\rl\NewParagraph.py", 
line 1185, in <module>
     from reportlab.lib.utils import fp_str
ImportError: cannot import name fp_str
 >>>

should I be using the latest code?

Any how here are the calls that were made to the standard paragraph Wrap function

(twordaxe) C:\code\hg-repos\reportlab\tmp\twordaxe>timageandflowables.py


Paragraph at 0303fe48.wrap(*(-3.000000000000057, 268435455),**{})-->(7.9135, 5352)


Paragraph at 0303fe48.wrap(*(439.27559055118104, 
268435455),**{})-->(439.27559055118104, 60)


ImageAndFlowables at 02ee5d48.wrap(*(439.27559055118104, 
662.3897637795275),**{})-->(439.27559055118104, 238.71023622047244
)


Paragraph at 0303fe48.wrap(*(439.27559055118104, 
268435455),**{})-->(439.27559055118104, 60)


so it appears as though the base Paragraph tries to lay out something based on 
the negative width and returns an area that cannot fit.
