Loop through values and display in a pdf file
- by chupinette
Hello all!
i have written the following code:
As you can see there is a for loop to go through some values and display them in the generated pdf. The problem is that all the values are being written at the same place.
I have tried to insert a new line but it does not seem to work. Can anyone suggest me how i can do it? Do i need to write a nested for loop so that it the values at different y positions?
