PhotoPrint is an utility to print multiple images per sheet, using
Gutenprint, with support for 16-bit images and ICC profiles.
pslib is a C-library to create PostScript files on the fly. It offers many
drawing primitives, inclusion of png and eps images and a very sophisticated
text rendering including hyphenation, kerning and ligatures. It can read
external Type1 fonts and embed them into the output file. It supports pdfmarks
which makes it in combination with ghostscript's pdfwriter an alternative for
libraries creating PDF.
PyPdf isaA Pure-Python library built as a PDF toolkit. It is capable of:
- extracting document information (title, author, ...),
- splitting documents page by page,
- merging documents page by page,
- cropping pages,
- merging multiple pages into a single page,
- encrypting and decrypting PDF files.
PyScript is a python module for producing high quality postscript
graphics. Rather than use a GUI to draw a picture, the picture is
programmed using python and the PyScript objects.
Some of the key features are:
* All scripting is done in python, which is a high level, easy
to learn, well-developed scripting language.
* All the objects can be translated, scaled, rotated, ... in fact
any affine transformation.
* Plain text is automatically kerned.
* You can place arbitrary LaTeX expressions on your figures.
* You can create your own figure objects, and develop a library
of figure primitives.
* Output is publication quality.
ReportLab is a software library that lets you directly create
documents in Adobe's Portabe Document Format (PDF) using the Python
programming language.
The ReportLab library directly creates PDF based on your graphics
commands. There are no intervening steps. Your applications can
generate reports extremely fast - sometimes orders of magnitude
faster than traditional report-writing tools.
The ReportLab library is expected to be useful in at least the
following contexts:
- Dynamic PDF generation on the web
- High-volume corporate reporting and database publishing
- An embeddable print engine for other applications, including
a 'report language' so that users can customize their own reports.
- A 'build system' for complex documents with charts, tables
and text such as management accounts, statistical reports and
scientific papers
- Going from XML to PDF in one step!
PyRTF is a pure python module for the efficient generation of
rich text format documents. It has good support for tables and
tries to maintain compatibility with as many RTF readers as possible.
QPDF is a program that can be used to linearize (web-optimize),
encrypt (password-protect), decrypt, and inspect PDF files from the
command-line. It does these and other structural, content-preserving
transformations on PDF files, reading a PDF file as input and
creating a new one as output. It also provides many useful
capabilities to developers of PDF-producing software or for people
who just want to look at the innards of a PDF file to learn more
about how they work.
QPDF understands PDF files that use compressed object streams
(supported by newer PDF applications) and can convert such files into
those that can be read with older viewers. It can also be used for
checking PDF files for structural errors, inspecting stream contents,
or extracting objects from PDF files. QPDF is not PDF content
creation or viewing software -- it does not have the capability to
create PDF files from scratch or to display PDF files.

Rubygem-prawn-core is the core of Rubygem-prawn.
Prawn::Graph aims to add this functionality to Prawn by using the
native PDF drawing tools Prawn exposes and a friendly single-method
call to draw the graph.
The graphs and the values plotted and drawn are all relatively sized
within the bounds of the width and height you have set and should
scale pretty well to any size of value. Of course, if things do end
up looking too squashed, you can always just make your graph bigger.
At the moment, only Bar and Line charts are implemented, with others
coming soon. Both charts work in mostly the same way.
