Wrap text in a table reportlab?
The description text went up as you wrap it in a styles["Normal"] You can try to wrap your text in a styles["BodyText"] This will allow your text to align themselves according to the width of the cell you specify. You could also include formatting which is similar to HTML text formatting.
Then use TableStyle to format the content in the table, for example, color text, center paragraph, span rows/columns and so on.
I edited the code above to a working version (example):
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4
from reportlab.lib.units import cm
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet
from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph, Table, TableStyle
from reportlab.lib.enums import TA_JUSTIFY, TA_LEFT, TA_CENTER
from reportlab.lib import colors
width, height = A4
styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
styleN = styles["BodyText"]
styleN.alignment = TA_LEFT
styleBH = styles["Normal"]
styleBH.alignment = TA_CENTER
def coord(x, y, unit=1):
x, y = x * unit, height - y * unit
return x, y
# Headers
hdescrpcion = Paragraph('''<b>descrpcion</b>''', styleBH)
hpartida = Paragraph('''<b>partida</b>''', styleBH)
hcandidad = Paragraph('''<b>candidad</b>''', styleBH)
hprecio_unitario = Paragraph('''<b>precio_unitario</b>''', styleBH)
hprecio_total = Paragraph('''<b>precio_total</b>''', styleBH)
# Texts
descrpcion = Paragraph('long paragraph', styleN)
partida = Paragraph('1', styleN)
candidad = Paragraph('120', styleN)
precio_unitario = Paragraph('$52.00', styleN)
precio_total = Paragraph('$6240.00', styleN)
data= [[hdescrpcion, hcandidad,hcandidad, hprecio_unitario, hprecio_total],
[partida, candidad, descrpcion, precio_unitario, precio_total]]
table = Table(data, colWidths=[2.05 * cm, 2.7 * cm, 5 * cm,
3* cm, 3 * cm])
table.setStyle(TableStyle([
('INNERGRID', (0,0), (-1,-1), 0.25, colors.black),
('BOX', (0,0), (-1,-1), 0.25, colors.black),
]))
c = canvas.Canvas("a.pdf", pagesize=A4)
table.wrapOn(c, width, height)
table.drawOn(c, *coord(1.8, 9.6, cm))
c.save()
AutoReply:
def coord(x, y, height, unit=1):
x, y = x * unit, height - y * unit
return x, y
w, h = table.wrap(width, height)
table.wrapOn(c, width, height)
table.drawOn(c, *coord(ml - 0.05, y + 4.6, height - h, cm))
the trick is in the "height - h", h is the height of the table and this depend of the content of the table
