For OpenOffice and Symphony, if there is nothing content in a Frame,
e.g.image, text box, the Frame can't be seen by user.
So, construct a single Frame object doesn't make sense. Simple ODF is a
high level API, its end user no need to care it. That's why we set Frame
class as protected.

Simple ODF can add image to text document, presentation and spreadsheet.
For your application, please reference the following code:
// new image in text document
TextDocument doc = TextDocument.newTextDocument();
Paragraph para = doc.addParagraph("");
Image image = Image.newImage(para, "image_list_item.png");
image.setName("this image");
image.setHyperlink(new URI("http://odftoolkit.org";));
doc.save("imagetest.odt");
// new image in presentation
PresentationDocument pDoc =
PresentationDocument.newPresentationDocument();
Slide slide = pDoc.newSlide(0, "test",
SlideLayout.TITLE_OUTLINE);
Textbox box =
slide.getTextboxByUsage(PresentationDocument.PresentationClass.TITLE).get(0);
box.setImage("image_list_item.png");
pDoc.save("imagep.odp");
// new image in a table
TextDocument sDoc = TextDocument.newTextDocument();
Table table1 = sDoc.addTable(2, 2);
Cell cell1 = table1.getCellByPosition(0, 0);
Image image3 = cell1.setImage("image_list_item.png");
image3.setHorizontalPosition(FrameHorizontalPosition.LEFT);
image3.setHyperlink(new URI("http://odftoolkit.org";));
sDoc.save("imges.odt");
SpreadsheetDocument sheet =
SpreadsheetDocument.newSpreadsheetDocument();
Table table2 = sheet.getTableList().get(0);
Cell cell2 = table2.getCellByPosition(1, 1);
Image image4 = cell2.setImage("image_list_item.png");
sheet.save("imgesheet.ods");
Image aImage4 = cell2.getImage();
