I am trying to add the image to cell(which is xssfcell inside XSSFSheet) which already contain a text by using an
anchor.setCol1(1);
anchor.setRow1(1);
anchor.setCol2(2);
anchor.setRow2(1);
Picture pict = drawing.createPicture(anchor, pictureIdx);
pict.resize();
but the the image override the text present in that cell. Is there any way to add image with text one after other in single cell without having in multiple line. I have also used autoSizeColumn() method but not worked out.
In Excel
sheets pictures are not in cells but hovers in a layer over the cells. They are anchored to the cells in the following manner:
A one cell anchor determines the upper left position of the picture. If used, the picture must be resized to its native size.
A two cell anchor determines the upper left position and the size of the picture. The first anchor determines the upper left position while the second anchor determines the bottom right position. So the size is given.
Each anchor can have a row and column given but also a dx
and dy
. The dx
and dy
will be added to the column's and row's position to determine the final position. The measurement unit for dx
and dy
is EMU
. Apache poi
provides org.apache.poi.util.Units
to calculate EMU
from pixels for example.
Example:
import java.io.*;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.xssf.usermodel.*;
import org.apache.poi.ss.usermodel.ClientAnchor.AnchorType;
import org.apache.poi.util.IOUtils;
import org.apache.poi.util.Units;
public class ExcelDrawImagesOnCellLeft {
private static void drawImageOnExcelSheet(XSSFSheet sheet, int row, int col,
int height, int width, int pictureIdx) throws Exception {
CreationHelper helper = sheet.getWorkbook().getCreationHelper();
Drawing drawing = sheet.createDrawingPatriarch();
ClientAnchor anchor = helper.createClientAnchor();
anchor.setAnchorType(AnchorType.MOVE_AND_RESIZE);
anchor.setCol1(col); //first anchor determines upper left position
anchor.setRow1(row);
anchor.setRow2(row); //second anchor determines bottom right position
anchor.setCol2(col);
anchor.setDx2(Units.toEMU(width)); //dx = left + wanted width
anchor.setDy2(Units.toEMU(height)); //dy= top + wanted height
drawing.createPicture(anchor, pictureIdx);
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Workbook wb = new XSSFWorkbook();
Sheet sheet = wb.createSheet();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("samplePict.jpeg");
byte[] bytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);
int pictureIdx = wb.addPicture(bytes, Workbook.PICTURE_TYPE_JPEG);
is.close();
String gap = " ";
for (int r = 0; r < 10; r++ ) {
sheet.createRow(r).createCell(1).setCellValue(gap + "Picture " + (r+1));
drawImageOnExcelSheet((XSSFSheet)sheet, r, 1, 12, 12, pictureIdx);
}
sheet.autoSizeColumn(1);
wb.write(new FileOutputStream("ExcelDrawImagesOnCellLeft.xlsx"));
wb.close();
}
}
Result:
