Apache POI Excel sheet: resize a picture while kee

Question

Hello I have created excel sheet by using POI. I've added picture(jpg-file) in the next way:

Workbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
CreationHelper helper = wb.getCreationHelper();
//...
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("img.jpg");
byte[] bytes = IOUtils.toByteArray(is);
int picIdx = wb.addPicture(bytes, Workbook.PICTURE_TYPE_JPEG);
Drawing drawing = sheet.createDrawingPatriarch();
ClientAnchor anchor = helper.createClientAnchor();
anchor.setCol1(5);
anchor.setRow1(5);
Picture pict = drawing.createPicture(anchor, picIdx);
pict.resize();

Now I want the picture to fit into that cell, but i don't want to change its aspect ratio. the scales i can put into resize are in respect to the cell, which obviously can have a different ratio. I tried to calculate the scales but the problem is, that I can't get or set the row height in pixel, only in pt and i can't compute the cells ratio either bc the i can't get width and height in the same unit... Any suggestions?

Answer 1

There is a Units class in POI, which provide convertion between pixel and point.
And here are some methods might be helpful to set cell's width and height.

1.Centimeters to Pixels

public static int cmToPx(double cm) {
    return (int) Math.round(cm * 96 / 2.54D);
}

96 is my Monitor's DPI (check yours from dpilove)
and 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

2.Centimeters to RowHeight

public static int cmToH(double cm) {
    return (int) (Units.pixelToPoints(cmToPx(cm)) * 20); //POI's Units
}

Usage: sheet.setDefaultRowHeight(cmToH(1.0))
Reference: HSSFRow#getHeightInPoints

Set the height in "twips" or 1/20th of a point.

3.Centimeters to ColumnWidth

public static int cmToW(double cm) {
    return (int) Math.round(((cmToPx(cm) - 5.0D) / 8 * 7 + 5) / 7 * 256);
}

Usage: sheet.setColumnWidth(cmToW(1.0))
Use (px - 5.0D) / 8 to convert from pixels to points in excel width.(When drag column's width in excel, pixels and points will show around your cursor)
Reference: HSSFSheet#setColumnWidth

Set the width (in units of 1/256th of a character width)

Excel uses the following formula (Section 3.3.1.12 of the OOXML spec):

// Excel width, not character width
width = Truncate([{Number of Visible Characters} * {Maximum Digit Width} + {5 pixel padding}]/{Maximum Digit Width} * 256) / 256

Using the Calibri font as an example, the maximum digit width of 11 point font size is 7 pixels (at 96 dpi). If you set a column width to be eight characters wide, e.g. setColumnWidth(columnIndex, 8*256), then the actual value of visible characters (the value shown in Excel) is derived from the following equation:

Truncate([numChars * 7 + 5] / 7 * 256) / 256 = 8;

Use XSSFClientAnchor to resize a picture to fill the cell and keep its ratio:

// set padding between picture and gridlines so gridlines would not covered by the picture
private static final double PADDING_SIZE = 10;
private static final int PADDING = Units.toEMU(PADDING_SIZE);

    x = (Units.toEMU(cellX) - x) / 2;
    if (x < PADDING) {
        return calCoordinate(false, cellY, cellX, imgY, imgX);
    }
    return calDirection(fixTop, x);
}

/**

    if (fixTop) {
        return new int[] { x, PADDING, -x, -PADDING };
    } else {
        return new int[] { PADDING, x, -PADDING, -x };
    }
}

Answer 2

I am using Base64 image data and I do it like this, for me it adds at given col/row and resizes it properly, also I dont want to to fit the cell it can axpand to whatever to right and bottom:

    byte[] imageBase64Data = base64DataString.getBytes();
    byte[] imageRawData = Base64.getDecoder().decode(imageBase64Data);

    int imgWidth = 1920; // only initial if not known
    int imgHeight = 1080; // only initial if not known

    try {
        BufferedImage img = ImageIO.read(new ByteArrayInputStream(imageRawData));
        imgWidth = img.getWidth();
        imgHeight = img.getHeight();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    int pictureIdx = workbook.addPicture(imageRawData, Workbook.PICTURE_TYPE_PNG);

    CreationHelper helper = workbook.getCreationHelper();
    Drawing drawing = sheet.createDrawingPatriarch();
    ClientAnchor anchor = helper.createClientAnchor();

    anchor.setCol1(desiredCol);
    anchor.setRow1(desiredRow);
    Picture picture = drawing.createPicture(anchor, pictureIdx);
    picture.resize(0.7 * imgWidth / XSSFShape.PIXEL_DPI, 5 * imgHeight / XSSFShape.PIXEL_DPI);
