Re: [api-dev] embedding an image to open office documents
Hello allirpa,

by the way, what's the difference if the image is embedded or displayed?
if you store the image using the embed API, you can use it for any purpose,
and the user has no way to get rid of it in the UI. An image embedded as text
graphic object, sure disapears if the user deletes it.
Sure you google and found different ways of embedding a text graphic object.
The way I like the most is the following:
instead of setting the GraphicURL property
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/text/TextGraphicObject.html#GraphicURL
set the Graphic property
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/text/TextGraphicObject.html#Graphic
Just replace in this example the property name and the object reference
http://svn.services.openoffice.org/opengrok/xref/DEV300_m42/odk/examples/java/Text/GraphicsInserter.java#155
// Setting the graphic
XGraphic xGraphic = getGraphicFromURL(
xComponentContext, sGraphicFileURL);
xPropSet.setPropertyValue(Graphic, xGraphic);
where getGraphicFromURL is
public XGraphic getGraphicFromURL(
XComponentContext xContext, String sURL ){
XGraphic xGraphic = null;
try {
XGraphicProvider xGraphicProvider =
(XGraphicProvider) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(
XGraphicProvider.class,
xContext.getServiceManager().createInstanceWithContext(
com.sun.star.graphic.GraphicProvider,
xContext));
PropertyValue[] aMediaProperties = new PropertyValue[1];
aMediaProperties[0] = new PropertyValue();
aMediaProperties[0].Name = URL;
aMediaProperties[0].Value = sURL;
xGraphic = xGraphicProvider.queryGraphic(aMediaProperties);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
return xGraphic;
}
}
