I am attempting to user ReportLab with Django to make a report
displaying my data in a tabular format.
An example model is:
class Vehicle(models.Model):
ve_name = models.CharField(max_length=20)
ve_type = models.CharField(max_length=20)
My report generating view a copy of the example in the ReportLab
docs. I have marked my sticking point with '''
def testX(request):
# Our container for 'Flowable' objects
elements = []
# A large collection of style sheets pre-made for us
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
# A basic document for us to write to 'rl_hello_table.pdf'
doc = SimpleDocTemplate('rl_hello_table.pdf')
elements.append(Paragraph("Vehicle Summary", styles['Title']))
vehicles = Vehicle.objects.all()
'''the question is how to modify the following lines to read the data
from vehicles rather than use the hard coded data shown in the
example'''
data = [['Caves', 'Wumpus Population'],
['Deep Ditch',50],
['Death Gully', 5000],
['Dire Straits', 600],
['Deadly Pit',5],
['Conclusion','Run!']]
'''after that, I think I can sort out the following'''
# First the top row, with all the text centered and in Times-Bold,
# and one line above, one line below.
ts = [('ALIGN', (1,1), (-1,-1), 'CENTER'),
('LINEABOVE', (0,0), (-1,0), 1, colors.purple),
('LINEBELOW', (0,0), (-1,0), 1, colors.purple),
('FONT', (0,0), (-1,0), 'Times-Bold'),
# The bottom row has one line above, and three lines below of
# various colors and spacing.
('LINEABOVE', (0,-1), (-1,-1), 1, colors.purple),
('LINEBELOW', (0,-1), (-1,-1), 0.5, colors.purple, 1, None,
None, 4,1),
('LINEBELOW', (0,-1), (-1,-1), 1, colors.red),
('FONT', (0,-1), (-1,-1), 'Times-Bold')]
# Create the table with the necessary style, and add it to the
# elements list.
table = Table(data, style=ts)
elements.append(table)
Can anyone give me a push in the right direction? Thanks for any
help.
Mike
