Photo layout

Thanks! This works well -- I was letting myself be too intimidated with
reportlab before looking at the documentation, but it was really not
hard at all. I think I figured out how to do landscape mode too.

from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter

def insertPicture(c):
....c.drawInlineImage("geese1.jpg",100,100,200,150)

width, height = letter
letter = height, width # change to landscape
c = canvas.Canvas("picture.pdf",pagesize=letter)
insertPicture(c)
c.showPage()
c.save()
