for what it's worth, its really simple to just loop through lists of lists 
dumping stuff onto the canvas with regular dx/dy. The problems all come when the 
data is not regular and you need to start wrapping and/or splitting stuff and 
then taking account of when to move to the next page in some irregular fashion.
