How do i set row height in a table?

Question

I'm using the python library borb to create a PDF document.

I want to set the row height in a table. If i use

TableCell(paragraph, preferred_width=Decimal(150), preferred_height=Decimal(200))

in a FlexibleColumnWidthTable, the width-value will be used, but the height is ignored.

Is there another way to set the height of table rows?

Answer 1

disclaimer I am the author of the library you are using.

I would recommend you issue a bug ticket on the GitHub repository. TableCell is meant to take into account the preferences.

It may decide not to do when layout becomes impossible.

As an interim measure, you can wrap your LayoutElement objects in a custom object (created by you) that always returns the desires dimensions in its get_content_box methods.
