Help with vertical alignment = top in a row

[inzeos]

My goal is to create a PDF with set width and column height. Each cell will only have a few single words aligned top and to the left.

I'm close but I'm missing something or misunderstanding a concept.

The below code is producing a PDF close to what I'm after; however, the text in each cell is vertically aligned in the middle and to the left, not vertically aligned to the top and left.

from fpdf import FPDF, Align

# Create a new PDF document
pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()

# Set font and cell width
pdf.set_font("Arial", size=12)
cell_width = 60
row_height = 96.52

# Create table
with pdf.table(line_height=row_height, col_widths=cell_width) as table:
        row = table.row()
        row.cell("A")
        row.cell("B")
        row.cell("C")
        
        row = table.row()
        row.cell("D")
        row.cell("E")
        row.cell("F")

# Save the PDF
pdf.output("my_table.pdf")

Hi @inzeos

In the next release of fpdf2, once PR #1346 has been merged & released,
you will be able to do this:

from fpdf import FPDF

pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Helvetica", size=12)
with pdf.table(col_widths=60, first_row_as_headings=False, min_row_height=96.52, v_align="TOP") as table:
    row = table.row()
    row.cell("A")
    row.cell("B")
    row.cell("C")
    row = table.row()
    row.cell("D")
    row.cell("E")
    row.cell("F")
pdf.output("discuss_1345.pdf")

For now, with version 2.8.2 of fpdf2, you can do that:

from fpdf import FPDF

pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Helvetica", size=12)
with pdf.table(col_widths=60, first_row_as_headings=False, v_align="TOP") as table:
    row = table.row()
    row.cell("A" + "\n" * 6)
    row.cell("B")
    row.cell("C")
    row = table.row()
    row.cell("D" + "\n" * 8)
    row.cell("E")
    row.cell("F")
pdf.output("discuss_1345.pdf")
