python3-rlpycairo binary package in Ubuntu Noble amd64
This is a plugin for the ReportLab PDF Toolkit.
which constructs rich PDF documents, and also creation
of charts in a variety of bitmap and vector formats.
.
This plugin is intended to replace most of the usage of the
libart based C extension _renderPM which has been shown to
have issues when rendering complex documents.
.
This backend can be brought into use by setting
reportlab.
any of the methods detailed in reportlab/
can be used to accomplish this.
.
The new backend seems able to handle all the same behaviour as
_renderPM and the only place where it seems inferior is in the
rendering of scaled images and the speed with which it draws
text.
.
At present the rlPyCairo backend only uses the _renderPM extension
to use its mapping of ReportLab font names to extract paths for
rendering this is no doubt the reason for its slowness when
rendering text.
