TriZPUG May Meeting: ReportLab - PDF made easy The Triangle Zope/Python User Group (TriZPUG) will hold its next meeting on Wednesday, May 28, at 6:30 p.m. in Raleigh, NC. We will be meeting in the DELTA conference room(s) at Venture III, who has kindly permitted us to use their meeting room, on NCSU's Centennial Campus. Directions to Venture III are below. Ian Sparks will be giving a talk on the ReportLab library. Hope to see you there! Title: ReportLab - PDF made easy ================================ Reportlab is a python library for the creation of Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. This talk introduces the foundation of the library: the canvas object. We'll start with canvas primitives : drawing, writing text, importing graphics etc and go on to examine how the canvas exposes some of PDFs special capabilities. Finally we'll take a look at PLATYPUS (Page Layout and Typography Using Scripts), a high-level library built on the canvas which makes creating complex documents a breeze.
