[reportlab-users] Inquiry for supported barcode Format

[Robin Becker]

Hi Shalin,

probably you should ask these sorts of questions in our users list, but since this is easy I will try and answer directly.

def main():
	from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas
	from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
	from reportlab.lib.units import inch
	canv = Canvas('shalin-example.pdf', pagesize=letter)
	canv.drawString(inch,canv._pagesize[1]-inch,'This is a string')
	canv.drawImage('pythonpowered.gif', inch*2, canv._pagesize[1]-inch*3)
	canv.showPage()
	canv.save()
if __name__=='__main__':
	main()

if you want to know more about the options for drawing directly using the Canvas class you should
look in the code inside the file reportlab/pdfgen/canvas.py.

The drawImage method has the dvantage that if the same image is repeated less storage will be used, but if each image is 
to be used only once then the drawInlineImage method is preferred.
