using reportlab to generate reports #167

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

At the Nov. 20 meeting the possibility of automatically generating lab reports in pdf format was discussed as this might interest scientists who currently take maybe 1-2 hours creating reports from matlab-generated calculations and figures.

Besides this use case, reports might be very useful in step 7 of Stephen's plan for the simulation: https://github.com/openworm/OpenWorm/blob/development/master_openworm.py

Here's a basic tutorial: http://www.blog.pythonlibrary.org/2010/03/08/a-simple-step-by-step-reportlab-tutorial/

Given our work with movement_cloud to visualize things I think it's safe to say this is not the direction we will be proceeding in at this point. I will close but it's interesting to note this in case we need to generate reports for a later paper.
