[reportlab-users] Finding space left

[Adrian Klaver]

This email, to which there was no response, got me delving into finding space 
left on a page:
http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2009-December/009166.html

Unfortunately, the more I have looked the more confused I have become. I found 
this thread and I sort of understand:
http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2009-September/008767.html

The issue for me is the chicken and egg nature of the problem:). There are 
various methods that take aW,aH but it is not obvious to me where to get that 
information in a particular context. For purposes of experimentation I am using 
a SimpleDocTemplate with the first page being a title page and the later pages 
handling a Table. Ideally I would like to do a summary row at the bottom of 
each page. I thought of subclassing Table to figure space left and then making 
room for a row. For what ever reason I cannot seem to get my head around how to 
go about that.

Thanks,
