You'll get better results asking at the reportlab user group
reportlab-us...@reportlab.com
but there are some ways to do what you want just with simple string
manipulation.
Assuming you know the initial x, y and have setup a canvas with the font and
sizeand the maximum width you want.
from reportlab.lib.utils import simpleSplit
L = simpleSplit(text,canv._fontname,canv._fontsize,maxWidth)
for t in L:
canv.drawString(x,y,t)
y -= canv._leading
I haven't tested this code, but that's the principle anyway for direct drawing
to the canvas.
