Description: contains the ReportLab accelerator module
rl_renderPM is a package containing the ReportLab accelerator module
_renderPM which can be used to speedup the
reportlab.graphics.renderPM functions.
.
The python bitmap render module reportlab.graphics.renderPM can
either use rlPyCairo, pycairo and freetype-py or rl_renderPM + built
in freetype libraries.
.
The choice is made by overriding the reportlab.rl_settings module
value _renderPMBackend using one of the settings files
reportlab/local_reportlab_settings.py, reportlab_settings.py or
~/.reportlab_settings, which are searched for in that order.
.
The default value of _renderPMBackend is 'rlPyCairo', but it can be
set to '_renderPM' to use this extension which is based on an older
library libart_lgpl.
.
Deprecation notice:
-------------------
.
As from version 4.0, the package python-reportlab removes the
renderPM extension which lets one create bitmap versions of complex
graphics. It now uses other python libraries which wrap up freetype, the
font rendering engine, so that one doesn't need to worry about linking
to it. Under the hood it uses PyCairo as a renderer by default
(rather than the no-longer-supported libart), and freetype-py to
render text glyphs. See more at:
