Class PageFrame#
This is also a ContainerFrame. With this frame type you can control on which pages the library prints the content of this frame. You can define that the content prints on a certain page or on odd or even pages or on all pages without the first page. You can use this kind of frame type in headers and footers if you want different headers and/or footers on even and odd pages, but it is possible to use it anywhere.
The following code creates a PageFrame that is printed on all pages but not on the first page. The content is a box with a grey background using the full width of the printable area and a height of 15mm.
from PDFReport import *
pf = PageFrame(header, PageFrame.ON_ALL_BUT_FIRST_PAGE);
box = Box(pf)
box.setUse_full_width(True)
box.setHeight(15.0)
box.setBackground("#EEEEEE")
The second parameter of the constructor is the page number on which the content has to be print or one of the following values. You find them in the class PageFrame. Any positive number for the on_page_nr parameter will print the frame on exactly this page and only there.
ON_ALL_PAGES = 0
ON_ODD_PAGES = -1
ON_EVEN_PAGES = -2
ON_ALL_BUT_FIRST_PAGE = -3
