similar to: PDF::Writer Simpletable Iteration

In my rails app I need to create pdf reports on the fly. I have installed railspdf, wich is working fine. But, how can I create tables and paragraphs and stuff? Can I mimic an .rhtml file (using <% for ...%> etc? Or is it wise to use Ruby::PDF directly? Is there anyone out there with experience in this, and who is willing to share his findings? Thx -- Posted via

Hi All, I generate a pdf report that contains a table. The report is 14 pages, and it takes 20s to be rendered. Most of these 20s are spend in the render_on method. I wonder if it is possible to speed up that process? To create the report, I do the following: 1) Setup pdf layout: # Setup pdf layout pdf.select_font("Helvetica", { :encoding => "WinAnsiEncoding"})

Hello, I am having performance issues ending with a ''time out'' from Apache when I try to generate a PDF file using pdf-writer. It seems to happen at the render_on(pdf) function call ; the table I am trying to draw has 8 colums which values are generated on the fly. Can''t find anything about pdf-writer and the ''time out'' on the Web so far. Any

I''ve tried pulling this together from examples in the book, searching the web and this list, but so far I''ve not been able to get it working just right. My table is a categories table with id and category fields. My form has the following: <td><%= select(''category'', ''category'', @categories = Category.find(:all, :order =>

I am trying to build a firewall and from my reading of the list archives and other places, I''m worried about unintended interactions between iptables and iproute2.

On the outbound side, I have a cablemodem provider and a dsl provider. What I

Before I start, I''ve read the ActiveRecord docs on eager loading, but for the life of me, I can''t seem to get it working. What I mean by this, is that the eager query looks good (I can paste the sql dump, but it looks good to me - and runs well independantly), but it seems that I''m referencing the eagerly loaded data in a way that activerecord doesn''t

Dear R users, I have two data frames that were read from text files as follows: x_data <- read.table("x.txt", header = TRUE, sep = "|", quote = "\"'", dec = ".",as.is = TRUE,na.strings = "NA",colClasses = NA, nrows = 3864284, skip = 0, check.names = TRUE,fill=TRUE, strip.white = TRUE,

Hi, I have two dataframes that have some common columns. I would like to join them by the common columns prochi and prescribed_date as there are duplicate prochis but they will be made unique by date. I tried doing an inner join but that just duplicated the columns whereas I would like the information from the test_sql_tsf to fill the NAs in the test_sql_psd common columns. require(sqldf)

I've been putting together a package that defined generic methods for database access. The packages is called "Rdbi." It borrows as much as possible from existing database packages / proposals. I'd like to start a discussion about the proposed interface. Here's what I've come up with so far: # # Rdbi: connectionMethods.R # dbConnect <- function(dbObj, ...)

Dear r-devel, Among the R functions I have written and later shared with colleagues, there are five that I hope will become a part of the R base package. The tasks are neither specific nor marginal, so rather than creating one more 'misc' package, I would be happy if the R Development Core Team would adopt these functions and hammer them into shape. The functions are available from

Dear R users The following function is R code for the main compuations in the article: M.

Hi, I just installed 2009.06 and found that compression isn''t enabled by default when filesystems are created. Does is make sense to have an RFE open for this? (I''ll open one tonight if need be.) We keep telling people to turn on compression. Are there any situations where turning on compression doesn''t make sense, like rpool/swap? what about rpool/dump? Thanks, ~~sa

I''ve got a field in a database that contains a string of ids. I want to be able to remove an item from that list and save the list again. The only way I saw how to do this was to convert it to an array and back to a string again. The variable names are for an example. This code works, but I don''t think that it''s efficient. It''s all in my controller.
