The ReportLab Toolkit is Open Source PDF library. This library
|
|
implements a flexible layout engine named Platypus that builds documents
|
|
from components like headlines, paragraphs, fonts, tables, bitmap
|
|
images, vector graphics, etc. These flowable elements are placed in a
|
|
document "story" following a set of templates for frames, pages and the
|
|
entire document itself. In addition to the standard 14 PostScript fonts
|
|
there is full support for custom embedded Type-1 as well as for Asian
|
|
fonts. The included graphics subpackage provides a set of primitive
|
|
shapes as well as reusable widgets building on them. Among the sample
|
|
collections is a very useful set of business chart diagrams, including
|
|
bar charts, line charts and pie charts. Different renderers can be used
|
|
to create vector graphics (in fact, even full document pages) as
|
|
individual components not only in PDF, but also in EPS and in a variety
|
|
of bitmap formats including JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP and PICT.
