The example pdfs look wonderful!! Extremely useful! In my case,
I can see myself using this new lab results printout often
when exchanging patient information with specialists etc...

I have been trying to test and get pdf reports like the ones you
attached as example for a few days before writing this, and am
kinda ashamed to say that I don't really get how to test this new
function?
I was able to successfully plot weight measurements with the v23
template... but that plots only one measurement, and it does so
in a graphic...
Happy start of the weekend,
María

However, there's no really good (known to me) solution to

test results on a non-arbitrarily large sheet of paper them
dimension being literally orthogonal.
Therefore I have rewritten the code generating a LaTeX table
for test results. It is now using an A0 (!) page in
landscape mode with fairly small margins which setup fits
quite some tests. The number of test types is practically
unlimited because the table can span multiple pages. The
number of test dates is not - it must meaningfully fit on a
landscape A0 page.</pre>
