Re: UnboundLocalError inside platypus api

I'd even argue that it's not even consistant...with Tables you style it
like so:

    t.setStyle(TableStyle([('VALIGN',(0,0),(-1,0),'TOP'),
                           ('LINEABOVE',(0,0),(-1,0),1.5,colors.black),
                           ('LINEBELOW',(0,0),(-1,0),1.5,colors.black),
                           ('FONT',(0,0),(0,-1),'Times-Bold',12),
                           ('FONT',(1,1),(-1,-1),'Times-Roman',8),
                           ('ALIGN',(0,0),(-1,-1),'CENTER'),
                           ]))

Anyway thanks Tim -- using the enums worked. And I agree about the more
useful error message.
