printing a spreadsheet

Hello, I’m not sure how printing images/documents
works, but I have a wx application that uses a wx.grid and I want to printout the spreadsheet. Is there a
canned function to do this or what are my options? Thanks.

There is the wx.lib.printout module in the library that has some table printing abilities that may or may not meet your needs. Otherwise printing is essentially the same as drawing, so if you can draw your data you can print it. See the PrintFramework sample in the demo for a simple example, and there is also a good chapter in the book about printing.

Ok, thanks.

I was reading about printing on the wxpython website and I think I would
like to use report manger... although I have no clue as to how to embed
it into my wx application... I don't suppose someone has a nice very
simple example of how to do this? I just want to create a table, then
send it to a pdf or print it... however I like report manager because in
the future I may want to create a more detailed report than just a
simple table.

Thanks!
