[reportlab-users] Adding text to frames

[William Chipman]

In the following python code, I have set up 5 frames on a page.
When I add more than one line of text to a frame, the text just overlays.
How do you get the line to advance?

from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet, ParagraphStyle
from reportlab.lib.units import inch
from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph, Frame
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
stylesC = styles['Code']
stylesC.__setattr__('fontName', 'Courier')
stylesC.__setattr__('fontSize', 12)
stylesC.__setattr__('leading', 0)

story1 = []
story1.append(Paragraph('Story 1', stylesC))
story2 = []
story2.append(Paragraph('Story 2', stylesC))
story3 = []
story3.append(Paragraph('Story 3', stylesC))
story4 = []
story4.append(Paragraph('Story 4', stylesC))
story4.append(Paragraph('Story 4a', stylesC))
story4.append(Paragraph('Story 4b', stylesC))
story5 = []
story5.append(Paragraph('Story 5', stylesC))
story6 = []
story6.append(Paragraph('Story 6', stylesC))
c = Canvas('test9.pdf')
f1 = Frame(0, 1 * inch, 1.5*inch, 9.5*inch,
showBoundary=1,leftPadding=0,bottomPadding=0,rightPadding=0,topPadding=0)
f2 = Frame(1.5* inch, 7*inch, 1.5*inch, 3.5*inch,
showBoundary=1,leftPadding=0,bottomPadding=0,rightPadding=0,topPadding=0)
f3 = Frame(3*inch, 7*inch, 1.5*inch, 3.5*inch,
showBoundary=1,leftPadding=0,bottomPadding=0,rightPadding=0,topPadding=0)
f4 = Frame(4.5*inch, 8.5*inch, 2.5*inch, 2*inch,
showBoundary=1,leftPadding=0,bottomPadding=0,rightPadding=0,topPadding=0)
f5 = Frame(4.5*inch, 7*inch, 2.5*inch, 1.5*inch,
showBoundary=1,leftPadding=0,bottomPadding=0,rightPadding=0,topPadding=0)
f6 = Frame(1.5*inch,  1 * inch, 5.5*inch, 6*inch,
showBoundary=1,leftPadding=0,bottomPadding=0,rightPadding=0,topPadding=0)

f1.addFromList(story1, c)
f2.addFromList(story2, c)
f3.addFromList(story3, c)
f4.addFromList(story4, c)
f5.addFromList(story5, c)
f6.addFromList(story6, c)

c.save()
