[python-win32] RE: generating data plots.

[Noah Spurrier]

There is a free Open Source PDF library called ReportLab here:
        http://www.reportlab.com/toolkit/index.html

PIL (Python Imaging Library) supports PDF Write. I have not used it, but it is in their documentation:
        http://www.pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/image-file-formats.htm

Then there is Piddle, which is a plot library for Python that supports PDF Generation:
        http://piddle.sourceforge.net/notesPDF/index.html
For a sample, check out "codeplot" on this page:
        http://starship.python.net/crew/gherman/
It looks pretty simple and straightforward.

Good luck. Send me a demo if you get it working.
I'm curious to see which method works best for you.

Yours,
Noah
