ReportLab Toolkit Description

PDF generating solution, that you can use for meeting your requirements and deadlines in enterprise reporting ReportLab Toolkit is suitable for web publishers, developers or creative design professionals who need to quickly and easily create or automate complex (even data-driven) documents.

The included graphics subpackage provides a set of primitive shapes as well as reusable widgets building on them. Among the sample collections is a very useful set of business chart diagrams, including line charts, bar charts, and pie charts. Different renderers can be used to create vector graphics (in fact, even full document pages) as individual components not onlNOTE: ReportLab Toolkit is licensed and distributed under the BSD license.
