[reportlab-users] how to change only one row height in a table

[Mike Driscoll]

Hi,

I need to change the row height of a single row in a table. So for example, say I have a Table object with 5 rows and I want to make the height of the 4th row smaller than all the others. How would I do that? I tried changing the padding values for that row to no effect. I also tried setting the leading value, but that didn't affect it either...not that I really thought that one would.

Any hints would be appreciated. Thanks!

You need to set up a rowHeights list in the Table() creation.

So if you have nrows=len(data) do

rowHeights = nrows*[None] or rowHeights = nrows*[myStandardRowHeight]

rowHeights[3] = 5

tbl = Table(data,....rowHeights=rowHeights)

I thought about using rowHeights, but for some reason I was having trouble figuring out how to do it dynamically last night since I don't really know how many rows will be in the table ahead of time. Thanks for the tip. I don't think I've ever seen someone create a list like that before.
