I've recently added HSSFPicture.resize() which resizes image anchor to the actual width and height. It might be useful to you.
If you want to set the anchor manually you need to change the anchor type as follows: anchor.setAnchorType(2); //Move but don't size with cells By default anchor type=0 which means "Move and size with Cells" and it is what is happening with your image: it gets resized when you resize the columns. > Also, if I need to fit the image to just 1 column and 1row and not > span multiple cols/rows, how should the following API be used: > anchor = new HSSFClientAnchor(0,0,0,255,(short)2,2,(short)4,7); > I am quite confused on the x/y coordinates. The first four values define the offset in the top-left and bottom-right cells. If you need to fit an image to exactly 1 column and 1 row leave them 0. The next four values are 0-based coordinates of the top-left and bottom-right cells. So, to put an image in 1x1 cell the anchor would be new HSSFClientAnchor(0,0,0,0,(short)col1, row1,(short)(col1+1), row+1); where col1 and row1 are coordinates of the top-left cell.
