I'm trying to put status flag pictures into XLS cells, and have it kind of
working.  But there's a problem.  On certain columns, I have the cell
wrapping attribute set.  So on the rows where there's enough text in those
cells to actually wrap, my pictures get stretched to the cell height.

I'm using anchor type 2 (move with cell, but don't resize), but that's not
enough.  The anchor 'coordinates' are based on starting and ending cell
ranges with optional offsets within the cells to 'fine tune' the positioning
and sizing.  But this all counts on knowing upfront how big the cells are. 
I know the column widths, but since I'm counting on Excel to dynamically
figure out the height based on the need for wrapping cells on the row, I'm
assuming all rows are the same height.  Big mistake.

Excel's nice enough to not stretch the picture when I resize the cell
manually, but when *it* resizes the cell automatically to wrap text, it
doesn't respect the 'don't resize' aspect of the anchor type.  Of course if
I manually resize the cell height after opening the spreadsheet the first
time, Excel leaves the image heights alone.  But that's no help.

I could probably set the row height explicitly, but I think that would
prevent Excel from automatically wrapping text.  It looks like a catch-22.

Anybody know of a way to get POI to force a specific height on an image you
insert into a cell?

Thanks,
Rob
