addImage

addImage

BASIC / ADVANCED / PREMIUM

Inserts an image into the Word document.

Description
public void addImage(String src) throws Exception
public void addImage(String src, OptionsImage options) throws Exception

You may use this method to insert images (jpg, gif or png) into your Word document.

You may easily control:

  • the embedding and positioning of the image within a complex paragraph.
  • the size (if not explicitely given, Javadocx tries to read the width and height from the image headers).
  • the dpi or dots per inch (by default they are taken from the image headers or set to 96 dpi).
  • the scale (default 100%).
  • the target: main document (default), headers or footers.

Together with some general formatting options.

If one wishes to insert an image within a complex paragraph or a table one should use this method in combination with the addText or the addTable method.
