-heading2("About this document")
-disc("""
-This document is intended to be a helpful and reasonably full
-introduction to the use of the ReportLab Graphics sub-package.
-Starting with simple drawings and shapes, we will take you through the
-slightly more complex reusable widgets all the way through to our
-powerful and flexible chart library. You will see examples of using
-reportlab/graphics to make bar charts, line charts, line plots, pie
-charts... and a smiley face.
-""")
-
-disc("""
-We presume that you have already installed both the Python programming
-language and the core ReportLab library. If you have not done either
-of these, look in the ReportLab User Guide where chapter one
-talks you through all the required steps.
-""")
-
-disc("""
-We recommend that you read some or all of the User Guide and have at
-least a basic understanding of how the ReportLab library works before
-you start getting to grips with ReportLab Graphics.
-""")
-
-disc("")
-todo("""
-Be warned! This document is in a <em>very</em> preliminary form. We need
-your help to make sure it is complete and helpful. Please send any
-feedback to our user mailing list, reportlab-users@reportlab.com.

-heading2("What is ReportLab?")
-disc("""ReportLab is a software library that lets you directly
-create documents in Adobe's Portable Document Format (PDF) using
-the Python programming language. """)
-
-disc("""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.""")
-
-heading2("What is ReportLab Graphics?")
-disc("""
-ReportLab Graphics is one of the sub-packages to the ReportLab
-library. It started off as a stand-alone set of programs, but is now a
-fully integrated part of the ReportLab toolkit that allows you to use
-its powerful charting and graphics features to improve your PDF forms
-and reports.
-""")
-
-heading2("Getting Involved")
-disc("""ReportLab is an Open Source project. Although we are
-a commercial company we provide the core PDF generation
-sources freely, even for commercial purposes, and we make no income directly
-from these modules. We also welcome help from the community
-as much as any other Open Source project. There are many
-ways in which you can help:""")
-
-bullet("""General feedback on the core API. Does it work for you?
-Are there any rough edges? Does anything feel clunky and awkward?""")
-
-bullet("""New objects to put in reports, or useful utilities for the library.
-We have an open standard for report objects, so if you have written a nice
-chart or table class, why not contribute it?""")
-
-bullet("""Demonstrations and Case Studies: If you have produced some nice
-output, send it to us (with or without scripts). If ReportLab solved a
-problem for you at work, write a little 'case study' and send it in.
-And if your web site uses our tools to make reports, let us link to it.
-We will be happy to display your work (and credit it with your name
-and company) on our site!""")
-
-bullet("""Working on the core code: we have a long list of things
-to refine or to implement. If you are missing some features or
-just want to help out, let us know!""")
-
-disc("""The first step for anyone wanting to learn more or
-get involved is to join the mailing list. To Subscribe visit

-From there you can also browse through the group's archives
-and contributions. The mailing list is
-the place to report bugs and get support. """)
