I am making a table of about 10 cells with headings in them. They will not fit accross the page unless I use multi_cell option. However I cant figure out How to get a multi_cell side by side. When I make a new one it autmatically goes to the next line
from fpdf import FPDF
import webbrowser
pdf=FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font('Arial','B',16)
pdf.multi_cell(40,10,'Hello World!,how are you today',1,0)
pdf.multi_cell(100,10,'This cell needs to beside the other',1,0)
pdf.output('tuto1.pdf','F')
webbrowser.open_new('tuto1.pdf')
You will have to keep track of x
and y
coordinates:
from fpdf import FPDF
import webbrowser
pdf=FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font('Arial','B',16)
# Save top coordinate
top = pdf.y
# Calculate x position of next cell
offset = pdf.x + 40
pdf.multi_cell(40,10,'Hello World!,how are you today',1,0)
# Reset y coordinate
pdf.y = top
# Move to computed offset
pdf.x = offset
pdf.multi_cell(100,10,'This cell needs to beside the other',1,0)
pdf.output('tuto1.pdf','F')
webbrowser.open_new('tuto1.pdf')
