Report Engine and PDF Library: Example code in Python

The following example creates an instance of the Report Engine class VpeControl named "Report".

The method Picture inserts an image, four coordinates are supplied: (left, top, right, bottom). The parameter "nFree" instructs VPE to compute the given coordinate for a text or image itself.

With WriteDoc the document is written by the integrated PDF Library as PDF file. Finally, the document is closed by calling CloseDoc.

from VpeControl import *

def CreateDocument():

Report = VpeControl()
Report.OpenDoc()
Report.Print(1.5, 1, "Hello World!")
Report.Picture(1.5, 2, Report.nFree, Report.nFree, "example.jpg")
Report.WriteDoc("My Document.pdf")
Report.CloseDoc()
