Words are distributed across the available space, put on new lines when required etc. Line breaks and tab characters are respected / resolved. Text can be aligned in the box (left, center, right) and fonts can be freely chosen. The method returns a float indicating how vertical space is left over after filling the area.</p>

McKie</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/fitz/">fitz</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>). </p> <p>PyMuPDF now supports drawing pie charts on a PDF page.</p> <p>Important parameters for the function are center of the circle, one of the two arc's end points and the angle of the circular sector. The function will draw the pie piece (in a variety of options) and return the arc's calculated other end point for any subsequent processing.</p> <p>This example creates a chart of the parliament seat distribution for political parties in the current German Bundestag.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>PyMuPDF (fitz) provides easy to use ways to create PDF documents out of simple texts.</p> <p>An example is the text output of Python's calendar module. Here we take a starting year as script parameter and output a 3-page (A4 landscape) document with calendars for this and the following two years - in less than 20 lines of code.</p>

Revision 3. </p> <p>Version 1.11.0 (based on MuPDF v1.11) allows exporting, importing and interrogating files embedded in a PDF.</p> <p>PDF "/EmbeddedFiles" are similar to ZIP archives (or the Microsoft OLE technique), allowing arbitrary data to be incorporated in a PDF and benefit from its unique features.</p>
