ReportLab - Frames - Images

[Chuck]

I have been trying all day to get this to work. My complete code is
below. I can get my text into the PDF, I can get my image in the PDF.
What I can't get to work is frames so that the image (logo) appears to
the right of the text. The image always appears first and then the text
below on the next line.

Please help.
Chuck

Anyhow I got some output from your script, by making two changes

I also had to change the name of the image to one on my system.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help. I made you changes but it still puts the picture
above the text, not beside the text.

I also found a user group at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.reportlab.user . It may be the
same. I have now posted there.
