Reportlab - Splitting table by column

raj
My Zope based application for a client has to generate annual audit
reports with too wide tables of account-wise payment details. I turned
to reportlab when HTML formatting became a headache for me. Reportlab
doc claims it can split by row as well as column but doesn't explain
how to. Then I came to learn that reportlab does not implement byCol
splitting. But is there a way out for me to split my wide data table
into pages? What if I try to implement splitByCol in the line of
splitByRow? (Only if it won't take much time and effort!) Why don't
they do that themselves? Any serious obstacles?

Version 1.18 of the ReportLab Toolkit has been released. This release will be the last to attempt to keep compatibility with Python 1.52 - 2.1. We will allow 2.2 specific features into the code in future. There will be a branch called ReportLab_1_18_PRE22. So that enthusiasts can maintain it if required. Main changes since ReportLab 1.18: - Bug & leak fixes. - improvements to pyRXP which can now be used in 16bit mode.

I did this once and can't remember how <blush> so I read the reportlab user guid. It says to unzip the reportlab archive - this is on w2k, BTW, with Python23 - to a directory and make a file called reportlab.pth in the pythod dir. The only line in this file is supposed to be the path to the reportlib dir. Then I'm instructed to open the ... ok I'll close and reopen ... the python cmd line interpreter and type import reportlab

hi, i'm working with reportlab since a couple of weeks and i managed to create quite nice pdfs... there is a little problem though. since i have to create english and russian content, i use the utf8 support of registered ttf's. the only thing is that it does not support the justify-alignment in paragraph flowables! is there a way to fix that?

I'm dynamically populating a Table control in ASP.NET 2. Each row has 4 columns but column #3 needs to be split into 3 rows and column #4 needs to be split into 4 rows. Each of these cells contains just text. Can someone help me out? I can split one cell using the TableCell's RowSpan property but I'm struggling with splitting 2 cells.

I need to create multi lingual invoices from reportlab. I think it is possible to use UTF 8 strings but there is a problem with the font. I could not find any free TTF font that can do latin1, latin2, arabic, chinese and other languages at the same time. Is there a single font that is able to handle these languages? (Most of our invoices will be for EN, FR, DE, HU, SK, CZ, RO but some of them needs to be in Chinese.) Thanks, Laszlo

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
